Question

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

The Atlantic Monthly magazine was first published in 1857.
The magazine focused on politics, art, and literature.
In 2019, historian Cathryn Halverson published the book Faraway Women and the “Atlantic Monthly.”
Its subject is female authors whose autobiographies appeared in the magazine in the early 1900s.
One of the authors discussed is Juanita Harrison.

The student wants to introduce Cathryn Halverson’s book to an audience already familiar with the Atlantic Monthly. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

Accepted Answer

Choice A is the best answer. The sentence effectively introduces Cathryn Halverson&rsquo;s book to an audience already familiar with the Atlantic Monthly , noting the title of Halverson&rsquo;s book and describing its content without providing background information about the Atlantic Monthly . Choice B is incorrect. The sentence introduces the Atlantic Monthly and mentions that it&rsquo;s referred to in Cathryn Halverson&rsquo;s book title; it doesn&rsquo;t effectively introduce Halverson&rsquo;s book. Choice C is incorrect. The sentence assumes that the audience is unfamiliar with the Atlantic Monthly , providing background information about the magazine; it doesn&rsquo;t effectively introduce Halverson&rsquo;s book to an audience already familiar with the Atlantic Monthly . Choice D is incorrect. While the sentence assumes that the audience is familiar with the Atlantic Monthly , it doesn&rsquo;t effectively introduce Cathryn Halverson&rsquo;s book.
