Which one of the following ████ ██████████ █████████ ███ ████████████ ███████ ███████ █ ███ ███████ ██

Passage A endorses █ █████ ██ ███ █████ ██ ██████ ███████ ██ ████ █████ ██ █████████ ██ ███████ ██

Not supported, because Passage A has mixed feelings about the kind of scholarship in Passage B (see P3 of Passage A). We cannot say that Passage A “endorses” the trend shown in Passage B.

10%

Passage A criticizes ███████ █ ███ ███████ ██ ████ ███ ██ ███ █████████ ████████ ████ ███████ ██ ███████ ███ █████████

Not supported, because Passage A doesn’t accuse scholarship like that in Passage B of failing to take into account all evidence. The criticism is about its overlooking of the history of individual women.

Passage A offers ██ ████████ ████ ██ ███████ ██ ████ ██ ███████ █ ██ ████ ███ ████████ ████ ███ ███ ███████████ ██████

Passage A’s analysis is not similar to that in Passage B. Passage A is commenting about the kind of scholarship shown in Passage B. But Passage B doesn’t comment on scholarship.

Passage A discusses ███ █████████ ███ ██████████ ██ █ █████ ██ ███████████ ████ ██ ███████████ ██ ███████ ██

Supported. Passage A describes benefits and drawbacks of scholarship that focuses on gender roles (see P2 and P3 of Passage A).

70%

Passage A advances ██ ████████ ████ ██ ████████ ██ ███████ █████ ██ ████ ██ ███████ ██ ██████ █████████ ██████ ██ █████████ ███ █████

Passage A’s argument isn’t “parallel” to Passage B’s argument. Passage A’s argument is about the kind of scholarship shown in Passage B. Passage B’s argument is about gender roles in a specific time period.
