原题
The following text is from William Carlos Williams's 1925 creative nonfiction book In the American Grain. History follows governments and never men. It portrays us in generic patterns, like effigies or the carvings on sarcophagi, which say nothing save, of such and such a man, that he is dead. That's history. It is concerned only with the one thing: to say everything is dead. Then it fixes up the effigy: there that's finished. Not at all. History must stay open; it is all humanity. Are lives to be twisted forcibly about events, the mere accidents of geography and climate?
Which choice best describes the function of the underlined sentence in the text as a whole?
AIt identifies a flaw in human nature that historians have overlooked.
BIt emphasizes a characteristic of the discipline of history that Williams condemns.
CIt highlights a controversy among historians that Williams criticizes.
DIt raises a question about the practice of history that Williams regards as unresolved.
