RC Question 8 Explanation

QUESTION TEXT: Which one of the following is mentioned in passage B …

DISCUSSION: To answer this kind of question, you just need to recall what appears in one passage but not the other.

Passage A speaks generally about sports and the arts. It mentions things like spectators, standards, and the difference between sports and art audiences, but it never names any specific sport or gives examples.

Passage B, however, includes specific examples of sports moments: the triple axel in figure skating and double play in baseball.

___________

  1. CORRECT. See above.
  2. No awards are mentioned in either passage.
  3. Passage A mentions music, dance, acting, and painting, so artistic disciplines are in both.
  4. Neither passage names a specific athlete.
  5. Too specific. B does mention moments (like a double play or triple axel), but not a historical event. Those are just examples, not history.
