Reading the passage
This is a check for something explicitly mentioned. We heard about later milestones, ancient references, the scope of women's practice, and writers who cited their work. I'll look for an actual item from that discussion rather than fill in other facts about ancient medicine.
Working the answers
- A
No particular disease is compared across ancient and modern treatment. The general tribute about delivering a homeland from disease doesn't supply that comparison.
- B
The writer distinguishes medicine from midwifery but doesn't name a specialty women were excluded from or never practiced.
- C
Francesca de Romana is mentioned as the earliest known recorded licensing case. No scholar is identified as claiming she was the first woman doctor in any Western society.
- D
We aren't told how long doctors trained or what their education involved. Evidence that they practiced and wrote about medicine doesn't answer that question.
- ECorrect
The final paragraph names Galen and Pliny the elder among the writers who quote female doctors' opinions and prescriptions. Those are explicit references to women's writings.
