Question

1) Today we still see evidence of civil disobedience sparking progress and change. (2) In recent elections, we've seen candidates on both the

Democratic and Republican sides promote new ideas, many of them very anti-establishment. (3) We've also seen citizens stage their own forms

of disobedience to effect change and promote new ideas. (4) These examples reveal that "rebellion" can, in fact, lead to profound change.

After sentence 2, the writer wants to provide relevant evidence to elaborate on the claim made in the previous sentence about anti-

establishment ideas seen in recent politics. Which of the following would best accomplish this goal?

A. Bernie Sanders has proposed abolishing all private medical insurance, and Donald Trump has proposed stronger immigration

restrictions.

B. Both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, for example, have proposed changes that would be considered rebellious by most.

C. Some of the proposed anti-establishment plans are worthy of consideration, but many will require radical change in order to

succeed

D. These proposed anti-establishment plans, which seek to go against the current establishment or authority, would mean big

changes if implemented.

Answer 1

The best answer is B: Both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, for example, have proposed changes that would be considered rebellious by most.

Although C and D do give more information on the topic, they don't provide any evidence, so neither is the correct answer. A is incorrect, too, because although it does seem like it gives evidence, it specifics Donald Trump's calls for stronger immigration restrictions; such restrictions wouldn't be considered to be anti-establishment policies, so A is not the right answer.

Hope this helps!
