summary
the content focuses on dissecting a comparative question related to two passages, guiding through the process of elimination to identify the correct answer based on differences in approach between the passages.
  • comparative questions require a comparison of specific components of each passage.
  • the correct answer is identified through a process of elimination, highlighting that passage a presents a general view without details, while passage b outlines an argument without full endorsement.
  • the 'does not necessarily endorse' part of the answer choice is crucial, stemming from the author's use of distancing language in passage b.
  • other answer choices are systematically eliminated based on their incompatibility with the passages' content and stance.
  • the passages are on similar subjects but differ significantly in their presentation and argumentation.
