Requires students to synthesize details across the two texts and then generalize beyond the texts.

Two of the points of view have explicit ties to the texts, while two do not. The correct answer is one of the latter.

The options require some prior knowledge; the assumptions are reasonable; and the options provide enough contextual explanation if students are not familiar with certain terms.
