Question

Lines 22-36 suggest that the author would most likely agree with which of the following statements?

• A. Historical events should be assessed from an objective rather than a subjective standpoint
• B. Historical events should be studied in relation to the social context of the times
• C. Historical interpretations are best understood when personal accounts augment quantitative data

Answer 1

The correct option is B Historical events should be studied in relation to the social context of the times

As the narrator says, Lindbergh's acclaim should be studied in a broader context, that is, he was perceived as role model by Europeans after the First world war to retain the old world stability. Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not express this meaning, hence, incorrect.
