Acting on the recommendation of a British government committee investigating the high incidence in white lead factories of illness among employees, most of whom were women, the Home Secretary proposed in 1895 that Parliament enact legislation that would prohibit women from holding most jobs in white lead factories. Although the Women's Industrial Defence Committee (WIDC), formed in 1892 in response to earlier legislative attempts to restrict women's labor, did not discount the white lead trade's potential health dangers, it opposed the proposal, viewing it as yet another instance of limiting women's work opportunities.
Also opposing the proposal was the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women (SPEW), which attempted to challenge it by investigating the causes of illness in white lead factories. SPEW contended, and WIDC concurred, that controllable conditions in such factories were responsible for the development of lead poisoning. SPEW provided convincing evidence that lead poisoning could be avoided if workers were careful and clean and if already extant workplace safety regulations were stringently enforced. However, the Women's Trade Union League (WTUL), which had ceased in the late 1880s to oppose restrictions on women's labor, supported the eventually enacted proposal, in part because safety regulations were generally not being enforced in white lead factories, where there were no unions (and little prospect of any) to pressure employers to comply with safety regulations.
The passage is primarily concerned with
presenting various groups' views of the motives of those proposing certain legislation
contrasting the reasoning of various groups concerning their positions on certain proposed legislation
tracing the process whereby certain proposed legislation was eventually enacted
assessing the success of tactics adopted by various groups with respect to certain proposed legislation
evaluating the arguments of various groups concerning certain proposed legislation

A选项：针对那些提议，不同机构提出自己的动机：文章没有列举所有机构的动机。
B选项：正确。针对某一提议，各个机构提出自己的立场。
C选项：追溯某一提议最终被制定颁布的过程：文章没有在描述这一过程，而是在对比不同的立场。
D选项：针对某一提议，评估不同机构是否成功实施策略：只有SPEW采取策略——调查铅中毒的真正原因，其他机构没有。
E选项：针对某一提议，评价不同机构的观点：文章没有评价他们的观点，只是陈述观点内容。

contrasting the reasoning of various groups concerning their positions on certain proposed legislation，对比几个组织对于一项法律提案有自己的立场的原因。A有立场a，因为……，B有立场b，因为……
presenting various groups' views of the motives of those proposing certain legislation，展现几个组织的对于法律提案的动机的观点，那就是A组织认为提案的动机是……，B组织认为是……
A 表现不同团体对某一立法提案动机的的观点
B 对比不同团体对某一立法天不同态度的原因
文章显然是在详述不同团体赞同或反对的原意，而非在讨论立法提案动机，WIDC的确提了一点，认为该提案意在限制女性工作，但余下两个并没有提到动机
A：presenting various groups' views of the motives of those proposing certain legislation
并没有比较各个群体对于那些立法机构的动机的观点。
文章通篇都是˙各种机构的观点，不涉及到作者的argument，所以不涉及到evaluate argument（没有作者态度）只是阐述事实
A 表现不同团体对某一立法提案动机的的观点
B 对比不同团体对某一立法天不同态度的原因
文章显然是在详述不同团体赞同或反对的原意，而非在讨论立法提案动机，WIDC的确提了一点，认为该提案意在限制女性工作，但余下两个并没有提到动机
. 文章讲的是不同机构对这项立法的观点
T 492 文章主要目的 （主旨题）
A（展示不同的关于proposal立法动机的不同group的观点，并不是对动机）
B（对比在特定立法proposal上不同组立场的原因）
C（追踪proposal最终执行的程序，没提）
D（衡量被对proposal方面的不同组别的成功的策略，并不是策略）
E（评估关于proposal的不同组别的argument，作者并没有评估，全文都是别人的观点）
E选项：根本没有evaluate groups' arguments; rather, it presents those arguments without comment on their quality or value;
WUDC and SPEW反对法规，后文展述了他们为什么反对（他们的reasoning）
WTUL 支持法规，后文也展述了他为什么支持（他的reasoning）
A选项中展述了对动机motive的观点，过于牵强，核心词应该在legislation
presenting various groups' views of the motives of those proposing certain legislation意思是展示了不同群体对于某立法动机的不同看法
A 和B 犹豫选了A； A-motive动机；B-reasoning 原因
文章主要比较了三个不同组织的观点，而不是不同的动机；
注意这个地方 tricky 的点在于 motives of those proposing certain legislation. 文章讲的是不同机构对这项立法的观点，而非对立法机关 motive 的观点。
自己根据notes理一下，得到主题：各机构支持或反对proposal？以及原因
错选A：A 的focus 是- views of the motives 偏题。
因为迅速看了各选项开头的谓语就选了A.. 必须得看内容啊
为什么不能选A？
我觉得应该是motive这个不对吧，文章并没有写他们的动机
