But the passage explicitly says Chopin "did not share the local colorists' growing nostalgia for the past."
Chopin's refusal to share LCs' nostalgia strongly implies that she found their approach to be a mistaken way of responding to cultural change. Among the given ACs, describing the LCs' idealization as "misguided" best captures Chopin's likely judgment more than any other AC does.
Also, the whole passage is basically about Chopin's progression -- she starts influenced by sentimetnal novels, is then influenced by LC, and ultimately rejects their nostalgic stance in favor of the NW's ambitious direction (because she "did not share the local colorists’ growing nostalgia for the past")
--> this progression suggests a value judgment. she didn't remain aligned with the LC; she clearly sought something new and more truthful to women's evolving experiences.
I chose D T_T
But as Kevin says this is directly contradicted by the text since it states that the LCs "were attracted to the new words opening up to women, and felt free to move within these words as artists."
In hindsight, AC D is obviously wrong. D inaccurately suggests that the LCs were limited in their ability to address new opportunities for women, whereas the passage indicates they were indeed engaging with these changes
Question is what statement about the colorist would Chopin agree with. Paragraph 3 states that Chopin departed from the local colorists because she did not portray intense psychological states with "romantic/passionate language" from the books of her youth, as the local colorists did, rather, Chopin did so in an "uninflected" manner. Couldn't it be said that presenting something as "uninflected" be similar to how one might present something as "scientific?" Or was Chopin not aware of this distinction between herself and the local colorists within her lifetime? Confused.

i neeeeeed to stop second guessing myself
I don't understand how we would get "misguided" from the text. I didn't choose A because of this.
my first instinct was A then chose D grrr .. implied are a weak link for me
Can someone elaborate on why E is wrong?
AC A...
I did not choose this one because of "misguided"

I suck at implied questions.
This question was all over.. did not know where to look for confirmation for A.
Question is what statement about the colorist would Chopin agree with. Paragraph 3 states that Chopin departed from the local colorists because she did not portray intense psychological states with "romantic/passionate language" from the books of her youth, as the local colorists did, rather, Chopin did so in an "uninflected" manner.

I wish that these drills kept the highlights from the previous questions.
the use of misguided in A felt too strong, I wrongly chose D with too much confidence lol
clearly missed this one.
lol never would have selected A. Weird question
