Question

According to the passage, Krontiris's work differs from that of the scholars mentioned in line 12 in which of the following ways?

• A. Krontiris's work stresses the achievements of Renaissance women rather than the obstacles to their success
• B. Krontiris's work is based on a reinterpretation of the work of earlier scholars
• C. Krontiris's views are at odds with those of both Kelly and Burkhardt.
• D. Krontiris's work focuses on the place of women in Renaissance society.
• E. Krontiris's views are based exclusively on the study of a privileged group of women.

Answer 1

Answer: (E)

Krontiris's views are based exclusively on the study of a privileged group of women.

The third sentence of the second para talks about Tina Krontiris's study that focuses on six Renaissance women writers. Burckhardt's and Kelly's works were focused on upper-class Italian women. This is the difference in their works. Hence, E is correct.

Krontiris's work was not at odds with other writers' works. It included both negatives and positives in terms of women's achievements.

We can discard the other choices.
