Question Type

Main point

Passage A discusses the shift in the study of women’s history toward gender rather than individual women. Passage B discusses how gender roles were portrayed under Augustus. Gender appears to be a topic in common for both passages, so it might be involved in the correct answer. If you’re using the Split Approach, eliminate any answers that aren’t a central topic of Passage A. Then come back after Passage B and eliminate any answers that don’t describe a central topic of Passage B.

Passage B doesn’t discuss the decline of research on individual women.

the role of ██████ ██ ███████ ████████ ███ ███████
