@mjcard517 not at all. Maybe not the best for you, but its certainly not accurate to call it a bad method. Not all comparative passages will have 80% of the questions require the 2nd passage to be read to infer anything. Just unlucky here.
Besides, because there aren't many to go through, you'll do that first round of questions quicker and when reading passage B you'll already have an idea what you need to and don't need to pay attention to
This question in particular feels doable without reading passage B because answer C is the only one that can reasonably be argued to be an assumption in the argument of passage A. All the other answers are way off. A and D are about topics not discussed at all. B and E are way too extreme.
@edificelex yes, but then by spending time going over these answer choices without reading B, you're also running the risk of not be able to cross of any of them, which would be a massive waste of time that would've been better spent had you just skipped.

split approach seems like a pretty bad method
