Recently, history writers emphasize the details and motivations behind historical events, instead of overarching historical trends and movements. This means that overarching historical trends and movements are often overlooked. As a result, parallels between historical events and current trends are also overlooked. Overlooking these parallels lessens our ability to learn from history.

Emphasizing different elements of history can affect our ability to learn from history.

The recent trend in history writing has lessened our ability to learn from history.

This answer is unsupported. The stimulus says that overlooking overarching trends is what lessens our ability to learn. There's no reason to believe that studying details independently lessens our ability to learn.

This answer is unsupported. We don’t know which group is best able to learn from history. There's also no reason to think ignoring details is necessary to best learn from history.

This answer is strongly supported. This answer correctly states the relationship in the stimulus between the shift in emphasis and our ability to learn from history. The new trend leads to overlooking parallels between history and the present, which lessens our ability to learn.

This answer is unsupported. We don’t know from the stimulus what should or should not be done. The author never presents a value judgement or recommendation.
