QUESTION TEXT: Muriel: I admire Favilla's novels, but she…
QUESTION TYPE: Point At Issue
ARGUMENTS: Muriel thinks that Favilla needs to write on many subjects to be a great writer.
John thinks that you can be a great writer even if you don’t write about many subjects. But you do need to be able to explore your theme deeply.
ANALYSIS: Point at issue questions are sometimes quite straightforward. John says Muriel’s criterion is wrong.
Muriel only gave one criterion (great writers need to write on many things), so John must disagree
with that.
___________
- John didn’t say whether Favilla wrote on many themes.
- John didn’t mention anything about Favilla having a distinctive style.
- CORRECT. Muriel says yes; that’s why she thinks Favilla isn’t a great writer. John says no; you don’t have to write on many themes to be great.
- Neither of them say how many novels Favilla has written.
- Muriel and John only mention Favilla. We have no idea what they think of other novelists.
