Reading the passage
We want the traditional history that Haraway's fragmented approach contrasts with: one overarching story, possibly explaining what caused an event. The text expressly allows either narrative alone or narrative with a causal argument.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
Curie's life and work are recounted chronologically, giving us a connected historical story. The circumstances leading to the discovery add a causal focus. I might initially keep this while checking the others, but both features fit the description.
- B
A television drama could tell a unified story. The decisive problem is that this one presents a prediction about life in a future century. It isn't recounting past events like the history we need.
- C
This preserves conflicting voices without a resolution or conclusion. It doesn't organize them into the unified historical story we predicted.
- D
The editorial advocates a project by explaining its prospective benefits. That is an attempt to win support, not an account of history.
- E
Experimental notes record data. They don't supply a narrative connecting historical events, even though a historian might later use such notes as evidence.
