Reading the passage
Why use l'homme here? The writer is identifying what distinguishes the Annales approach: its central subject is human beings and their world, rather than political events and leaders alone. The task is about the phrase's role in describing that approach, not just translating the French.
Working the answers
- A
The sentence distinguishes the Annales focus from a focus on political events and leaders. It isn't drawing a similarity between two institutions.
- BCorrect
Calling human beings the “central subject” characterizes this school of historical scholarship. The following list of fields, homes, workplaces, and institutions then shows the breadth of that interest.
- C
This contrasts approaches to studying history, not two political systems. Politics is one possible subject of historical study, not the kind of system being compared here.
- D
L'homme means human beings in this sentence. It isn't the name of an authority cited to support a claim.
- E
The phrase helps explain the approach. It doesn't challenge whether the approach is valid.
