Germany’s chimney sweeps—hallowed as bringers of good luck, with their black top hats and coiled-wire brushes— are under attack. Last week the European Commission’s directorate for the internal market revived proceedings against an antiquated German law that protects sweeps against competition. The country’s chimney sweeps enjoy a near-perfect monopoly. Germany is divided into around 8000 districts, each ruled by its own master sweep who usually employs two more sweeps. Although this is a private enterprise, the maintenance and inspection service provided is compulsory and prices are set by the local authority: sweeps cannot stray outside their district, nor can householders change their sweep even if they loathe him. This rule cuts both ways. "There are some customers I can’t stand either," says one Frankfurt sweep.
The rationale is simple: chimney-sweeping and related gas and heating maintenance in Germany are treated as a m

C. Before 1937, chimney sweeps are German and work in their districts.
D. Heinrich Himmler revised the law because he can use sweeps as local spies.

| Roger Rosenblatt’s book Black Fiction,
in attempting to apply literary rather than sociopolitical criteria to its
subject, successfully alters the approach taken by most previous studies. As
Rosenblatt notes, criticism of Black writing has often served as a pretext for
illustrating Black history. Addison Gayle’s recent work, for instance, judges
the value of Black fiction by overtly political standards, rating each work
according to the notions of Black identity that it propounds. Although fiction assuredly springs from political circumstances, its authors react to those circumstances in ways other than ideological, and talking about novels and stories primarily as instruments of ideology avoids cleverly much of the fictional enterprise. Rosenblatt’s literary analysis discloses ties and connections among works of Black fictio A. emphasizes purely literary aspect of such fiction B. misinterprets the ideological content of such fiction C. misunderstands the notions of Black identity contained in such fiction D. substitutes political for literary criteria in evaluating such fiction [单项选择]若关系R和S，T如下图所示，则是执行了哪种操作才得到T S
