Reading the passage

Broad and flexible—that is the idea we've been following. Paragraph 3 calls the interpretation expansive and the category malleable. We need two descriptions that capture those features.

Working the answers

  • A

    Flexible fits, but specific does not. Leaving room for unanticipated cases is the point; the boundaries aren't precisely drawn.

  • B

    Broad does not mean obscure or hard to understand. The writer doesn't describe this definition as obscure.

  • C

    The writer emphasizes room for cases the drafters couldn't anticipate, not an exhaustive account covering every detail. Impartial is also not an assessment supplied here.

  • D
    Correct

    “Expansive” supports general, and “malleable” supports adaptable. These are straightforward restatements of the actual descriptions.

  • E

    The writer doesn't call the definition comprehensive or exemplary. Broad scope alone doesn't establish complete coverage or make it a model definition. D captures the specific features emphasized.
