Reading the passage
We've already predicted the main point: Bloch contributed to the Annales approach through work that helped explain people and their historical worlds. The three books demonstrate those contributions from different angles.
What we’re looking for
A title should give us some version of that whole subject. A memorable example—farming, the king's touch, or lordship—shouldn't take over the title as though the rest of the discussion were only about it.
Working the answers
- A
French agriculture is the subject of one book. The title leaves out the other studies and the broader Annales approach they exemplify.
- B
Mentalité is an important concept, but this title makes the concept itself the whole subject. The discussion introduces the approach through Bloch and examines his contributions across several works.
- C
Lordship explains the final example, not the entire account of Bloch's work. A title focused there would leave the first two books outside its scope.
- DCorrect
This captures the broad subject we predicted. The first paragraph explains the approach Bloch helped develop; the later paragraphs show his contributions through three influential studies. All of that fits under this title.
- E
Ritual kingship belongs to The Royal Touch. Even with mentalité added, this title doesn't cover the agricultural and feudal studies that also demonstrate his contributions.
