Reading the passage
What is the first paragraph of B doing? It introduces Welty's photography and asks us to imagine other writers taking those pictures. Our first reaction might focus on how distinctive she was. Let's check which answer best accounts for the whole paragraph, including its opening and closing comparisons with her writing.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
The opening explicitly connects the “same acuity and patience” in her photography and fiction. Later, her keen, merciful eye behind the lens echoes the attentive, benign observer in her writing. Those shared qualities are the paragraph's central connection. This sharpens our initial impression of distinctiveness into a more complete account of its job.
- B
Evans and Lange appear in the second paragraph. The question asks about the first.
- C
The paragraph does not explain her art through Southern culture. It connects her ways of observing people in two art forms.
- D
The biographical account is in A. B's first paragraph does not interpret photographs through particular events in her life.
- E
The comparison with other writers is hypothetical: imagine these pictures coming from them. We are not comparing Welty's photographs with photographs those writers actually took. That also does not prove they never took any photographs.
