问题     Benjamin Franklin is portrayed in American history as the quintessential self-made man. In “Self-reliance,” Emerson asks, “Where is the master who could have instructed Franklin…?” In fact, Franklin took instruction widely, and his scientific work was highly collaborative. Friends in England sent equipment needed for his electrical experiments, others, in Philadelphia, helped him set up his workshop there. Philip Syng constructed a device for generating electrical charges, while Tomas Hopkinson demonstrated the potential of pointed conductors. Franklin, in addition to being the group’s theoretician, wrote and published its results. His fame as an individual researcher is partly a consequence of the shorthand by which when one person writes about a group’s discoveries, history sometimes grants singular credit for collective effort.
Which of the following best describes the function of the highlighted sentence?
选项 A、It states a viewpoint about Franklin with which the author disagrees.
B、It introduces new evidence about Franklin’s role in the collaborative process.
C、It explains Franklin’s reputation in terms of a broad scholarly phenomenon.
D、It emphasizes the extent to which Franklin relied on others in his workshop.
E、It describes Franklin’s approach to writing scientific results.
答案C
解析 本题属于功能题，正确答案是定位句3s版本。本题定位在第七句，3s版本是解释为什么富兰克林容易被当作独立的研究者，因此选项C正确。a broad scholarly phenomenon对应第七句的shorthand，Franklin’s reputation指的是人们认为富兰克林是独立的。A项这句话就是作者提出的，作者不可能反对自己的观点。B项无关选项。D项这句话重点解释为什么人们认为为富兰克林是独立的，而非强调富兰克林对集体的依赖程度。E项无关选项。
