Reading the passage
Look for an actual detail in B that A doesn't supply. B gives us concrete examples—a triple axel and a double play—to explain apparent purposiveness. A discusses sports more generally. Keep the writers' examples separate from any examples we used to make their ideas easier to understand.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
B names figure skating and baseball. A refers to games and sports without naming a particular sport. Our basketball illustration doesn't become a detail in A.
- B
Neither discussion mentions an award. Standards of excellence aren't the same as prizes given for excellence.
- C
A already names musicians, dancers, actors, and painters. An artistic discipline therefore isn't something absent from A, regardless of what B says about concert halls or museums.
- D
B names theorists, not famous athletes. The double play isn't attributed to a named player.
- E
A double play is a type of sporting action, not a particular historical event. B doesn't identify a specific game, player, or date. An example of what can happen in baseball isn't the same as one memorable moment from sports history.
