Q3

[lolitatrekkie]

I was stuck between answer choice A and B and ended up choosing B and I'm not sure if it's the correct answer or not. Can someone help explain which one is the correct answer?

Thanks!

Question Type:
Principle (Inference) … "which Principle is best illustrated (supported) by the above info"

Answer expected in lines/paragraph:
lines 11-15 (not only the author's main point setup, but also contains the keywords from the question stem, "Tutuola's [rightful] position in world literature")

Any prephrase?
The author is saying, judge him not as a novelist but as a teller of folktales. (line 20-21)

Correct answer:
A

Answer choice analysis:

A) This is more specific than our pre-phrase. Can we justify it? Yeah, 27-29 tells us specifically what kind of teller of folktales

B) "Certain" is crazy-extreme, we would need a line reference. Does the author ever talk about "generating a new interest in oral traditions"? Not that I can find.

C) More of an opposite answer. The author is mad that lots of people have incorrectly assumed that T is a novelist.

D) No support for the "integrity of translations".

E) No support for "growing new trend in literature".

Takeaway/Pattern:
1. identify the passage keywords in the question stem.
2. find where those words appears in the passage.
3. Realize they're pointing us to the Purpose sentence. "Tutuola isn't a novelist, guys. (misconception) He's something else …"
4. remind yourself what else. Oh, yeah, a teller of folktales.
5. make sure you have a line reference for whatever answer you pick.
