Reading the passage
We need an approach both writers use to explain Welty's work. Test each choice on both sides. Something that clearly happens in A still needs a counterpart in B.
Working the answers
- A
A discusses her upbringing and education. B does not give an account of her early life.
- B
These are the two writers' own assessments. Neither surveys other critics' reactions to particular works.
- C
A names individual stories to illustrate Welty's range. B praises her photographs as a group without identifying a particular Welty photograph as an example. Its descriptions of Evans's and Lange's work cannot supply the missing example of her work.
- DCorrect
A contrasts Welty's continued experimentation with Hemingway and Faulkner developing established voices. B compares her photography with Evans's and Lange's photographs of comparable subjects made for different purposes (Passage B, paragraph 2). Each uses artists working in the same medium to help explain what distinguishes Welty.
- E
Southern places and Southern Gothic appear, but neither writer makes the argument by examining distinctively Southern themes. A regional background is not the same as that method of analysis.
