More Solitary Passages Questions - - Question 12

It can be inferred from the passage that early folklorists assumed that which one of the following was true?

Answer D

I understand the textual support for A, but couldn’t you just as easily justify answer D by referencing lines 13-15 that discusses women’s only contributions at that time being on a few topics? Thanks!

I agree with this. I chose D as well, so I'm wondering what makes it wrong.

This also confused me

I chose D as well. And I found support from lines 13-15.

I would also like to know why D is incorrect and A is correct.
It seems like I usually end up getting stuck with two different answer choices and I end up choosing the wrong one most of the time. Is there a way to solve this problem or do I just have to continue practicing?

Hi, I think D is incorrect because it would assume women were not involved which is not true. They were involved just not recognized.

After analyzing for a minute, I figured out why D isn't necessarily correct. Lines 13-15 state that women were only involved in topics such as health and games. But D says, "only helped with traditional topics." We cant infer that health and games are traditional topics. I think it's a trap answer.

Just wanted to chime in to say that I completely agree with Abigail
