pls go to page 32 ie q27 , passage on political activities
could you u please explain how the answer to the main idea question in 27 cant be A .
Why dould it B ? There is no mention of a 3rd approach in the passage , so dow do we know the author is alluding to a third approach .

If you have followed Ron's video about main idea and used the first para and the first sentense of the second para we can come to B in no time. I was able to make it Munda.

Why B? Please look for second para first line "has developed"
Why ~A? early scholers havent done anything wrong(limitations), they developed the old system but not to full extent.

First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..
Regards,
HSPA.

Both the Approaches mentioned in the 1st para had limitations ie they did not recognize the political activities of women .
This is exactly what A is saying if you look at the objection objectively . I am not saying they did something wrong and nor does the passage .

The 2 entities that are discussed in the first para are schools of thought / approaches / ideas .
The 1st line of the second para says that paula Baker developed a political history . This is different from saying that Paula Baker developed a school of thought or idea . That is why i didnt consider B

Hi Munda,
I havent understood totally but from your first line you took
excluding women = Limitation; I think the passage has no proof for this. If it is there..kindly help me in pointing it out.
