Reading the passage
The revolution and the reform proposals share an emphasis on equality. That is the connection I'd expect the timing to suggest: the proposals build on the movement's ideals. We don't need to supply a separate history of the new French government.
Working the answers
- A
No excesses of that government are described as the reason for these proposals.
- B
A belief in education's value may sound compatible with educational reform, but it doesn't capture what the timing connects. The opening identifies the revolution's egalitarian and secular aims; equality is the thread carried into the proposals.
- C
Introducing a proposal after a revolution doesn't establish vast popular support for it. The text instead emphasizes the obstacles the proposals faced.
- D
We aren't told that women's education had to come before other reforms. That adds a required sequence.
- ECorrect
The first paragraph names the revolution's “egalitarian and secular aims,” then introduces proposals that were themselves substantially egalitarian. Their appearance just after the revolution supports the influence of those equality-based ideals.
