Acting on the recommendation of a British government committee investigating the high incidence in white lead factories of illness among employees, most of whom were women, the Home Secretary proposed in 1895 that Parliament enact legislation that would prohibit women from holding most jobs in white lead factories. Although the Women's Industrial Defence Committee (WIDC), formed in 1892 in response to earlier legislative attempts to restrict women's labor, did not discount the white lead trade's potential health dangers, it opposed the proposal, viewing it as yet another instance of limiting women's work opportunities.

Also opposing the proposal was the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women (SPEW), which attempted to challenge it by investigating the causes of illness in white lead factories. SPEW contended, and WIDC concurred, that controllable conditions in such factories were responsible for the development of lead poisoning. SPEW provided convincing evidence that lead poisoning could be avoided if workers were careful and clean and if already extant workplace safety regulations were stringently enforced. However, the Women's Trade Union League (WTUL), which had ceased in the late 1880's to oppose restrictions on women's labor, supported the eventually enacted proposal, in part because safety regulations were generally not being enforced in white lead factories, where there were no unions (and little prospect of any) to pressure employers to comply with safety regulations.

Which of the following, if true, would most clearly support the contention attributed to SPEW in highlight text?

Those white lead factories that most strongly enforced regulations concerning worker safety and hygiene had the lowest incidences of lead poisoning among employees. The incidence of lead poisoning was much higher among women who worked in white lead factories than among women who worked in other types of factories. There were many household sources of lead that could have contributed to the incidence of lead poisoning among women who also worked outside the home in the late nineteenth century. White lead factories were more stringent than were certain other types of factories in their enforcement of workplace safety regulations. Even brief exposure to the conditions typically found in white lead factories could cause lead poisoning among factory workers.

文章大意逻辑
英国政府委员会发现白铅工厂女工患病高发，内政大臣1895年提议立法禁止女性从事多数白铅工厂工作。1892年成立的WIDC虽认可白铅行业潜在健康风险，但反对该提议，认为限制女性工作机会。SPEW也反对提议，通过调查疾病原因，认为工厂可控制的条件导致铅中毒，且有证据表明若工人细心清洁、严格执行现有安全规定，铅中毒可避免。WTUL原本反对限制女性劳动，后支持该提议，因为白铅工厂安全规定未被执行且无工会施压雇主遵守。 文章类型及逻辑简图
文章类型：观点对比型 逻辑简图： Home Secretary's proposal: Prohibit women from most jobs in white lead factories. WIDC: Oppose the proposal (limit women's work opportunities). SPEW: Oppose the proposal (controllable conditions in factories cause lead poisoning). WTUL: Initially oppose restrictions on women's labor, later support the proposal (safety regulations not enforced in white lead factories). 做题方法及问题类型
问题类型：加强论证题 做题方法：定位到高亮文本中SPEW的观点，即工厂可控制条件导致铅中毒，寻找能加强该观点的选项。 选项分析
A选项：那些最严格执行工人安全和卫生规定的白铅工厂，员工铅中毒发生率最低。这表明严格执行规定能降低铅中毒发生率，直接加强了SPEW“若严格执行现有安全规定，铅中毒可避免”的观点。 B选项：在白铅工厂工作的女性比在其他类型工厂工作的女性铅中毒发生率高很多。只是对比了不同工厂女性铅中毒发生率，未提及与SPEW观点中可控制条件和规定执行的关系，无法加强。 C选项：19世纪后期有很多家庭铅源可能导致在外工作女性铅中毒。讨论的是家庭铅源，与SPEW所强调的工厂内可控制条件无关，不能加强。 D选项：白铅工厂在执行工作场所安全规定方面比某些其他类型工厂更严格。但未表明这种严格执行与铅中毒发生率的关系，无法加强SPEW观点。 E选项：即使短暂暴露在白铅工厂典型条件下也可能导致工厂工人铅中毒。只是说明暴露条件的危害，未体现与可控制条件及规定执行的联系，不能加强。综上，正确答案是A。
