ACT Reading 2.3 Social Science Passage

context in which it might appear.

We'll nix the easiest one first.

The passage never mentions anything about capitol punishment, so it would be a pretty

bad addition to a chapter focusing on the subject.

Choice (D) is out of the running.

This passage is zeroed in on criminal sociology, making it an unlikely candidate for a book

on a topic as broad as the social history of nineteenth-century Europe.

Yeah, Ok. We'll just go ahead and cross out choice (C).

Ferri spends a lot of time introducing concepts, but not a lot of time summing up the points

that he's already made.

Therefore we're more likely to find this passage in an introduction than a conclusion.

This eliminates (B) and makes (A) the right answer.

Hm. We take back what we said about this question being deep.
