In a 1918 editorial, W.E.B. Du Bois advised African Americans to stop agitating for equality and to proclaim the solidarity with White Americans for the duration of the First World War. The editorial surprised many Africa Americans who viewed Du Bois as an uncompromising African American leader and a chief opponent of the (10) accommodationist tactics urged by Booker, T. Washington. In fact, however, Du Bois often shifted positions along the continuum between Washington and confrontationists (15) such as William Trotter. In 1895, when Washington called on African Americans to concentrate on improving their communities instead of opposing discrimination and agitating for (20) political rights, Du Bois praised Washington’s speech. In 1903, however, Du Bois aligned himself with Trotter, Washington’s militant opponent, less for ideological reasons (25) than because Trotter had described to him Washington’s efforts to silence those in the African American press who opposed Washington’s positions.(20)reflected not a change in his long-term goals but rather a pragmatic response in the face of social pressure government officials had threatened African Americans’ contributions to past war efforts had brought them some legal and political (40) advances. Du Bois’ accommodationism did not last, however. Upon learning of(/on?) systematic discrimination experienced by African Americans in the military, he called on them to “return fighting” from the war. 48. The author of the passage refers to Washington's call to African Americans in 1895 primarily in order to
A identify Du Bois's characteristic position on the continuum between accommodationism and confrontationism
D support an assertion about Du Bois's tendency to shift his political positions

我认为A选项对应原文中的这一句话很完美啊，可为什么不对呢？ NN们可以给我指点一下吗. 多谢啦！~

谢谢LZ。

但是文章说Du Bois as。。。a chief opponent of the accommodationist tactics urged by Booker, T. Washington. 说明Washington是一个accommodationist妥协派；
confrontationists such as William Trotter。说明Trotter是一个主战派；
Du Bois 的主张在妥协和主站之间摇摆，A选项很完美啊？ 继续问~~

不是NN，但是我感觉是这样的
第一，文章并没有仔细讨论accommodationism 和 confrontationism
第二，1895那个事情是要说明你highlight的那句话，也就是DB为什么要shift positions,也就是这个题目正确答案D选项的意思
support an assertion about Du Bois's tendency to shift his political positions

第三，没有identify啊，哪里有identify捏？？
