问题     Early life insurers in the United States found themselves facing the problem of obtaining reliable information, as they needed to rely on applicants themselves to provide truthful, complete answers to a standard set of questions. In an attempt to personalize the relationship between insurers and their individual applicants, firms selected highly respected local citizens to act as their agents. These agents were expected to evaluate the appearance of candidates, unearth evidence of unhealthy family histories or questionable habits, and attest to the respectability of the people writing testimonial letters on an applicant’s behalf. In short, the initial purpose of the agency system was not to actively solicit customers, but, rather, to recreate the glass-bowl mentality associated with small towns or city neighborhoods.
The primary purpose of the passage is to

选项 A、explain the original function of life insurance agents
B、evaluate the effectiveness of early life insurance agents
C、describe how life insurance was first introduced
D、illustrate how the life insurance agency system changed over time
E、compare the strategies used by life insurance in cities and in small towns

答案A

解析 A项符合本文的3s版本。B项本文只是客观地介绍了中间人系统,没有评价其有效性。
