Why is it B instead of A?
Passage A talks about how similar Cather's work and Turgenev's work is so how can the purpose be identifying 'distinctive' characteristics?

Hi Fizzai,

Regarding answer choice (A), Passage B does not discuss Cather's influences at all, so we cannot choose answer choice (A). For answer choice (B), characteristics can be distinctive even if not completely unique. Both passages discuss ways that you can identify Cather's writing. Even though it isn't completely unique to Cather in Passage (A), it still discusses what elements are typical for Cather.

Hope that helps!
