[求助]一道阅读题,我自己怎么想也想不通,请大牛们帮我解释解释

    Many scholars have theorized that

       economic development, particularly

       industrialization and urbanization, con-

Line       tributes to the growth of participatory

  (5)      democracy;  according to this theory, it

would seem logical that women would

both demand and gain suffrage in ever

greater numbers whenever economic

development expanded their economic

 (10)      opportunities.  However, the economic

development theory is inadequate to

explain certain historical facts about the

implementation of women’s suffrage.

For example, why was women’s suf-

 (15)      frage, instituted nationally in the United

States in 1920, not instituted nationally

in Switzerland until the 1970’s?  Indus-

trialization was well advanced in both

countries by 1920:  over 33 percent

 (20)      of American workers were employed

       in various industries, as compared

       to 44 percent of Swiss workers.

Granted, Switzerland and the United

States diverged in the degree to

 (25)      which the expansion of industry coin-

cided with the degree of urbanization:

only 29 percent of the Swiss population

lived in cities of 10,000 or more inhabi-

tants by 1920.  However, urbanization

 (30)      cannot fully explain women’s suffrage.

Within the United States prior to 1920,

for example, only less urbanized

       states had granted women suffrage.

Similarly, less urbanized countries

(35)         such as Cambodia and Ghana had

voting rights for women long before

Switzerland did.  It is true that Switzer-

land’s urbanized cantons (political

subdivisions) generally enacted

(40)         women’s suffrage legislation earlier

than did rural cantons.  However,

these cantons often shared other

characteristics—similar linguistic back-

grounds and strong leftist parties—that

may help to explain this phenomenon.

The passage suggests which of the following about urbanization in Switzerland and the United States by 1920?

 

  1. A greater percentage of Swiss industrial workers than American industrial workers lived in urban areas.
  2. There were more cities of 10,000 or more inhabitants in Switzerland than there were in the United States.
  3. Swiss workers living in urban areas were more likely to be employed in industry than were American workers living in urban areas.
  4. Urbanized areas of Switzerland were more likely than similar areas in the United States to have strong leftist parties.
  5. A greater percentage of the United States population than the Swiss population lived in urban areas.

这个题为什么选择E呢,我实在不明白!!!

文中说:

Switzerland and the United States diverged in the degree to which the expansion of industry coincided with the degree of urbanization:

only 29 percent of the Swiss population lived in cities of 10,000 or more inhabitants by 1920. 

第一句话说明两国城市化程度有差别。第二句话的only表明瑞士的百分比数字低。
