Q22

Hi,

Whether (B) is inferred from line 44-46" Reduction of complex social situation......but the shortest-term analysis"?

Also, is answer choice (E) incorrect because an election is unnecessarily "actually" entails two or more distinct "social movements"?

Thanks for the explanation in advance.

(B) can be inferred from line 15, where we learn that the classical social movement theory links "some unusual condition" to social phenomena.

Thus, if an election is not spurred by an unusual condition, the theory does not apply.

(E) is incorrect because we don't learn that the classical theory of social movement does or does not apply to events that entail multiple social movements. This is not a reason this theory would not apply.

Tricky question with the negatives!

Does that make sense?

In line 16, it was stated that a social movement theory should be linked to some unusual condition. Therefore, B is correct because if it is not linked to an unusual condition, then an election cannot be considered a social movement.

a) A is out of scope because nothing in the passage links personalities to social movements, but even so, it seems this would strengthen the fact that an election can be considered to be apart of a social movement because the political theorists later criticized the social psychologists to limiting social movements to psychological dysfunction rather than political motive.

c) Same thing as A. This would actually give more of a reason that social movements can be applied to elections.

d) It doesn't matter what the outcome of analyzing the social movement would be, in this answer choice, it's the momentous developments. Instead, we are more concerned about why we can't use the formulations for classical social psychological theory in the first place.

e) Out of scope. And it never said that social movements have to be exclusive to one, it can perhaps be exclusive to two or all three.
