OG BERBAL RC 29
Line The new school of political history that emerged in the 1960sand 1970s sought to go beyond the traditional focus of political historians on
leaders and government institutions by examining directly
(5) the political practices of ordinary citizens.Likethe old approach, however, this new approach excluded women. Theverytechniquesthesehistoriansused to uncover mass political behavior in the nineteenth century United States-quantitative analysesof
(10) election returns,forexample-were uselessin analyzingthepolitical activitiesof women, who were denied the vote until 1920.
By
redefining "political activity," historian Paula Baker has developed a political history that includes
(15)
women. She concludes that among ordinary citizens, political activism by women in the nineteenth century prefigured trends in twentieth century politics. Defining "politics" as "any action taken to affect the course of behavior of
(20) government or of the community," Baker concludes that, while voting and holding office were restricted tomen,women inthe nineteenth century organized themselves intosocietiescommittedto social issues such astemperance and poverty. In other
(25) words,Bakercontends,womenactivistswere early practitionersof nonpartisan, issue-orientedpolitics and thus were more interested in enlisting lawmakers,regardless oftheirpartyaffiliation,on behalf of certain issues than in ensuring that one

这道题的答案是B，对于这类文章的结构有个问题
文章的首段介绍了两种观点The new school of political history that emerged in the 1960sand 1970s 和old approach
下一段又引出了
historian Paula Baker 的观点
像这样文章总共介绍了三种观点的的情况，题目问引出Paula Baker观点的作用，B选项说的是
differentiate between a novel definition and traditional definitions。作者的 novel definition , traditional definitions 分别指的是什么呢？
作者的 novel definition , traditional definitions 分别指的是什么呢？
因为第一段就引出了new 和old 两种approach 了，还可以把后面引入的Baker 的观点叫做novel definition吗？
大家要是没时间看文章，麻烦帮我解答下这类情况该怎么处理吧。
