Historians who study European
     

women of the Renaissance try to mea-

sure “independence,” “options,” and

Line other indicators of the degree to which

(5) the expression of women’s individuality

was either permitted or suppressed.

Influenced by Western individualism,

these historians define a peculiar form

of personhood: an innately bounded

(10) unit, autonomous and standing apart

from both nature and society. An

anthropologist, however, would contend

that a person can be conceived in ways

other than as an “individual.” In many

(15) societies a person’s identity is not

intrinsically unique and self-contained

but instead is defined within a complex

web of social relationships.

In her study of the fifteenth-century

(20) Florentine widow Alessandra Strozzi, a

historian who specializes in European

women of the Renaissance attributes

individual intention and authorship of

actions to her subject. This historian

(25) assumes that Alessandra had goals

and interests different from those of her

sons, yet much of the historian’s own

research reveals that Alessandra

acted primarily as a champion of her

(30) sons’ interests, taking their goals as

her own. Thus Alessandra conforms

more closely to the anthropologist’s

notion that personal motivation is

embedded in a social context. Indeed,

(35) one could argue that Alessandra did

not distinguish her personhood from

that of her sons. In Renaissance

Europe the boundaries of the con-

ceptual self were not always firm

(40) and closed and did not necessarily

coincide with the boundaries of

the bodily self.

GWD-3-Q35:

The passage suggests that the historian mentioned in the second paragraph (lines 19-42) would be most likely to agree with which of the following assertions regarding Alessandra Strozzi?

1. Alessandra was able to act more independently than most women of her time because she was a widow.

2. Alessandra was aware that her personal motivation was embedded in a social context.

3. Alessandra had goals and interests similar to those of many other widows in her society.

4. Alessandra is an example of a Renaissance woman who expressed her individuality through independent action.

5. Alessandra was exceptional because she was able to effect changes in the social constraints placed upon women in her society.

请教一下，”a historian who specializes in Europea   women of the Renaissance attributes individual intention and authorship of  actions to her subject.“这句话是怎么翻译的？

我看GWD解析里面是这么写的”在对15世纪寡妇AS的研究中，一 位历史学家将她的个人意向和行为根源归于个人意识。“

这个翻译是不是有问题？her指那个widow，subject解释为意识？还是应该翻译成”这位历史学家将个人意向和行动作为她的研究主题“？

37 选项C为什么错？我对B的正确性没有怀疑，只是找不出理由排除C，仿佛它也很合理的样子。请NN们赐教~~~
