题目材料：

Ethel Waters was a musical pioneer and brilliant performer whose natural yet exacting phrasing sounds modern even today. Yet she never quite became an icon. The reason may lie in the nature of her art: she didn't impose a signature style on her singing. She wasn't enough of a jazz singer to find herself in the jazz pantheon, or enough of a blues artist to become an idol of later rock singers. Furthermore, her singing fame came primarily from the 1920s and early 1930s, before the LP record era, and later generations remembered her more as an actress than as a singer. Finally, her life story lacked the tragic denouement characteristic of such legendary singers as Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday.

Which of the following statements best describes the purpose of the first sentence of the passage?

A.It makes an assertion that the author will go on to defend.
B.It acknowledges an omission that the author finds difficult to explain.
C. It presents information that makes a claim in the subsequent sentence somewhat unexpected.
D.It introduces a critical consensus that the author challenges in the rest of the passage.
E.It points out an apparent contradiction that the author intends to resolve later in the passage.
