题目材料：

Critics rarely consider Willa Cather a modernist author. Cather was skeptical of many aspects of the early twentieth-century culture taking shape in the United States. She was already in her twenties when the canonical modernist novelists F. Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner were born: late-Victorian culture formed her childhood world. By the time the modernist moment had crystallized in the 1920s and 1930s, Cather was issuing jeremiads condemning aspects of modern life as cheap or "gaudy." Some critics argue that Cather shows an affinity for certain prominent modernists' aesthetic ideals, particularly noting Cather's experiments with form and narrative technique. However, Cather, even at her most experimental, remains far removed from the main currents of modernist fiction. Her prose never radically challenged received ideas of conventional syntax.

The author of the passage would most likely agree with which of the following assertions about the "experiments"?

AThey have been mischaracterized by critics who see them as evidence of Cather's disaffection with certain aspects of literary modernism.
BThey are more evident in Cather's prose style than in her approach to narrative form and structure.
CThey show that Cather was influenced by prominent modernists but that she also wanted to maintain a distance from them.
DThey reflect a more modest deviation from established literary conventions than do the experiments undertaken by canonical modernists.
EThey were regarded by Cather herself as being more radical than were the experiments in works by writers such as Faulkner and Fitzgerald.
