Correct Answer: Two million dollars.
Why this is correct: The European Research Council grant is stated as two million dollars.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Five million dollars.: The grant is two million dollars rather than five million.
- Nothing.: A two-million-dollar grant was received, so no grant contradicts the source.
- One million dollars.: The grant is two million dollars rather than one million.
Correct Answer: early women's writings.
Why this is correct: The project searches for forgotten writing by women.
Why the other options are wrong:
- men's dominance on women writings.: The search concerns forgotten women’s writing rather than men’s dominance.
- earlier art of women.: The subject is writing rather than earlier visual art.
- cultural aspects of women.: The project specifically searches for writing rather than women’s cultural life in general.
Correct Answer: only their names.
Why this is correct: For most of the writers, only their names are known.
Why the other options are wrong:
- their education only.: The known information is usually only names, rather than education.
- whom they married.: The speaker says only names are known, rather than identifying marriages as the usual remaining information.
- where they lived.: The speaker identifies names rather than places of residence as what is generally known.
Correct Answer: Basic education.
Why this is correct: The researcher says a section of the women studied belonged to the popular class or middle lower class. Those women had a very basic education rather than a full education; this is not a claim about every early woman writer.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Full education.: The women described did not enjoy full education.
- Graduation.: Graduation is not the level given; the described education is basic.
- Completely illiterate.: The women had basic education, which does not mean they were completely illiterate.
Correct Answer: Style.
Why this is correct: The researcher explicitly says attention was paid to the style in which the texts were written.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Form.: The source specifically identifies style rather than form in this statement about how the texts were written.
- Structure.: Structure is not the aspect named in the statement; style is.
- Contents.: The researcher also examines ideas, but the narrowed question asks for the explicitly named aspect of how the texts were written.
Correct Answer: In the general canon.
Why this is correct: The researcher wants to place the retrieved writings by women in the general canon alongside writings by men.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Mixed standard.: The stated destination is the general canon rather than a mixed standard.
- Different standards.: The aim is a shared canon rather than separate standards for the genders.
- Unique standard.: The stated aim is inclusion in the general canon rather than a unique standard.
