Reading the passage
The final paragraph gives the condition directly: gender differences are revealed with more authority when writers are not deliberately trying to show them (paragraph 4). We're looking for the artist allowing those differences to emerge rather than deliberately trying to display them.
Working the answers
- A
Refusing assumptions about gender isn't the condition Glück identifies. Her point here concerns intention, not which assumptions an artist accepts or rejects.
- B
She uses inherited forms, but she doesn't say using traditional tools is what gives the revelation greater authority.
- CCorrect
Not consciously intending to reveal the differences is exactly the condition stated. This answer directly matches the quoted sentence.
- D
Commenting on gender through another subject could still be a deliberate attempt to convey something about gender. Merely using a different subject isn't the condition we're given.
- E
Glück respects the tradition, but respect is a separate feature of her position. The greater authority comes from the absence of conscious intention, not from the degree of respect.
