Reading the passage
Both texts discuss how property moves between people. A calls that transfer and distinguishes it from acquiring something previously unowned. B describes a law governing transfers of Native American land.
What we’re looking for
The question requires an explicit mention in both texts. Something we can imagine becoming a problem, such as the difficulty of correcting an old injustice, does not count as an express discussion unless each author actually raises it.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
A defines the principle governing transfer from one person to another. B opens with a law requiring approval of land transfers from Native Americans to others. This is directly present in both.
- B
B discusses a federal law and suits to recover land. A supplies a moral theory, not a legal basis for recovery. A claim about just ownership is not automatically a statement of what a legal system permits.
- C
A expressly considers a “wholly just” world. B discusses actual land claims and alleged injustice, not entitlement in a wholly just world.
- D
B says restoration may be impractical and require compromise. A explains how rectification would work but does not expressly assess whether it is practicable. We might raise that concern ourselves; that is not the same as A mentioning it.
- E
B refers to the European invasion. A mentions theft and fraud generally, without an invasion.
