Regarding question number 23 in the first packet (second passage), why wouldn't choice A work?


A) This endnote appears on page 237 of the book Savage Inequalities: Children in America's Schools and on page 37 of the article "Hard Data."

Jonathan Kozol is the author, the italitized phrases are the name of the book, followed by the page number the information was taken from

and then the source is separated from the next one by a semi-colon

page 37 of the article "Hard Data"


this was my interpretation of the citation. Whlie I do understand why choice E works, I don't understand why A wouldn't.


Thank you!

This is a highly unfair question to the exam takers.

 

Take a look at the question. It is almost a trick question desgined to trap students into picking choice A.

 

It is asking about the "information" in endnote, not the endote or italicized phrase itself. We know that endnote itself is on the cited pages, but there is no way of knowing for sure whether the 'information' in endnote is on the cited pages as well. Do you see the trap?

 

If the question had said " Which of the following statements about endnote 1 is correct?" then A would be a good answer. However, it does not. Rather, it asks about the information in endnote 1.  

 

So, what can we surmise from "information" in endnote? Only thing we can say is that it was published in a book. 

 

When you come across a question that seems to have 2 right answers, read the question carefully. There will be a word or a phrase in the question that will give you a hint in choosing the right answer.

 

Hope this helps
