Question Type
Describe approach
Structure
This Describe Approach question asks for a way that the two passages are not parallel. We can approach this question like an LR Method of Reasoning question.
Split Approach: After passage A, eliminate any answer choices that don’t accurately describe passage A. Then, after passage B, eliminate the remaining answer choices that don’t accurately describe passage B.
Sequential Approach: We will approach this question with the process of elimination. Eliminate any answer choices that do not accurately describe how both passages operate.
Passage A doesn’t present and reject arguments for an opposing position––the passage doesn’t even consider an opposing position––so we can eliminate (A).
b
Passage A makes ██████████ ███████ ███████ ███████ █ ████ ████
Passage A does make evaluative claims (for example, that the historiographic approach is harmful). However, passage B makes evaluative claims too, so we can eliminate (B).
Passage A does describe specific examples of a phenomenon that it criticizes (specifically, the examples of papers that use “narrative” in their titles but don’t actually tell stories). Additionally, passage B does not include specific examples. (C) accurately describes the way that the passages do not parallel.
d
Passage B offers ██████████ ███████ ███████ █ ████ ████
Passage A does offer criticism, so we can eliminate (D). Passage A criticizes the dry, abstract approach to historical writing.
e
Passage B outlines █ ███████ ███████ ███████ █ ████ ████
Passage A does not outline a theory, so we can eliminate (E). Passage B doesn’t outline a theory either.
