不过17题我选C,文中这些女孩把poetry做为是对patriarchal marriage 的一种抵制，那实际上是不是可以理解为poetry的内容为a desirable model of unmarried life（unmarried 对应文中的resistance）
that edu[size=+0]cated young women, particularly Quakers, engaged in resistance to patriarchal marriage by exchanging poetry critical of marriage, copying verse into their commonplace books.Q18: Which of the following, if true, would most seriously undermine the author’s basis for saying that Wulf overstates Quaker schools’ impact (lines 17-18) ?
A The information that Wulf herself provided on religious affiliation and gender of students is in fact accurate.
B Most poor, non-Quaker students enrolled in Quaker schools had completed one or two years’ formal or informal schooling before enrolling.
C Not all of the young women whose commonplace books contained copies of poetry critical of marriage were Quakers. D The poetry featured in young women’s commonplace books frequently included allusions that were unlikely to be accessible to someone with only three years’ study in school.
E In 1765 an unusually large proportion of the Quaker schools’ student body consisted of poor girls from non-Quaker backgrounds.
我选B，答案是C
作者认为overstated的主要证据就是穷人家女孩在Q的人数非常少（line 31），由此说明Q的影响力其实没那么大。
这里B答案正好反驳了这一点，说那些非Q的穷人家女孩，其实也在Q收过一些教育。
