托福阅读修辞目的题例题
例题3：
Paragraph 2: During Jackson's second term, his opponents had gradually come together to form the Whig party. Whigs and Democrats held different attitudes toward the changes brought about by the market, banks, and commerce. The Democrats tended to view society as a continuing conflict between "the people”-farmers, planters, and workers-and a set of greedy aristocrats. This "paper money aristocracy" of bankers and investors manipulated the banking system for their own profit, Democrats claimed, and sapped the nation's virtue by encouraging speculation and the desire for sudden, unearned wealth. The Democrats wanted the rewards of the market without sacrificing the features of a simple agrarian republic. They wanted the wealth that the market offered without the competitive, changing society; the complex dealing; the dominance of urban centers; and the loss of independence that came with it.
Q:The author mentions bankers and investors in the passage as an example of which of the following?
A:The Democratic Party's main source of support
The people that Democrats claimed were unfairly becoming rich
The people most interested in a return to a simple agrarian republic
One of the groups in favor of Andrew Jackson's presidency
