During the 1920s, most advocates of scientific management, Frederick Taylor`s method for maximizing workers` productivity by rigorously routinizing their jobs, opposed the five-day workweek. Although scientific managers conceded that reducing hours might provide an incentive to workers, in practice they more often used pay differentials to encourage higher productivity. Those reformers who wished to embrace both scientific management and reduced hours had to make a largely negative case, portraying the latter as an antidote to the rigors of the former. In contrast to the scientific managers, Henry Ford claimed that shorter hours led to greater productivity and profits. However, few employers matched either Ford`s vision or his specific interest in mass marketing a product-automobiles-that required leisure for its use, and few unions succeeded in securing shorter hours through bar-gaining. At its 1928 convention, the American Federation of Labor (AFL) boasted of approximately 165,000 members working five-day, 40-hour weeks. But although this represented an increase of about 75,000 since 1926, about 70 percent of the total came from five extremely well-organized building trades` unions.

It can be inferred that the author of the passage would probably agree with which of the following claims about the boast referred to in lines 12–13?

AIt is based on a mistaken estimation of the number of AFL workers who were allowed to work a five-day, 40-hour week in 1928. BIt could create a mistaken impression regarding the number of unions obtaining a five-day, 40-hour week during the 1920s. CIt exaggerates the extent of the increase between 1926 and 1928 in AFL members working a five-day, 40-hour week. DIt overestimates the bargaining prowess of the AFL building trades’ unions during the 1920s. EIt is based on an overestimation of the number of union members in the AFL in 1928.

At its 1928 convention, the American Federation of Labor (AFL) boasted of approximately 165,000 members working five-day, 40-hour weeks. （群体意识上升）But although this represented an increase of about 75,000 since 1926, about 70 percent of the total came from five extremely well-organized building trades` unions.（但也有限，基本上都是5大工会），。虽然看起来大家都觉醒了，但是基本上来自于五大工会，所以可能会让人误解

来不及做了。。。这句话后面说的是这些数据中有70%都来自well-organized 公司，可见调查时有偏的，因此选B misrepresent
