#7 - Global Reference, Must Be True, Subject Perspective

[Blueballoon5%]

I had trouble with this question. I narrowed the answer choices to B and E, and ultimately chose the wrong answer B. I understand why E is correct, but I didn't understand why B was wrong. The reason that I chose B was because of lines 20-22, which explains why Gluck would agree that English poetic tradition was universal, despite the social and historical context.

I hope you can help me!

Hi!

B is wrong because of the last sentence of the passage: "Literature, she maintains, is inescapably historical, and every work, both in what it includes and in what it omits, inevitably speaks of its social and historical context."

I hope this helps.

Best,
Lauren
