Nine times as many Americans died in the farmlands near Antietam Creek in the fall of 1862 than died on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, the so-called longest day of World War II. The bloodiest single day of war in the nation’s history came when General Robert E. Lee’s Confederate Army undertook its first engagement on northern soil. According to the Antietam National Battlefield park service, when the fighting had subsided, more than 23,000 soldiers lay dead or wounded, more than all of the dead or wounded Americans in the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Mexican War, and Spanish-American War combined.
Just a week after his army’s victory in the Second Battle of Bull Run, Lee resolved to advance the front into Northern territory. The vast farm fields of western Maryland were ready for harvest, and Lee saw in them an opportunity to nourish his soldiers, replenish his supplies, and turn the residents of the undecided border state to his cause.
In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the author is most likely suggesting that
选项
A、the other American wars of the 18th and 19th centuries did not have heavy casualties
B、the Antietam National Battlefield park service is an unreliable source of information
C、the Battle at Antietam was the most significant battle of the American Civil War
D、General Lee was overly encouraged by his success in the Second Battle of Bull Run
E、the troops at Antietam suffered catastrophic losses compared to other battles in that century
答案
E
解析
The best answer is E. This last sentence serves to compare the losses at Antietam with those of other wars. It illustrates the scope of the casualties in a contemporary time frame.
