Question
Which one of the following most accurately states the central idea of the passage?
Answer: Option D
:
D
This is a main theme question.
The first half of the option “Abrams describes historical sociology as a discipline that unites two approaches taken by sociologists to studying the formation of societies” is the summary of the first paragraph and the second half of the option is the summary of the second and third paragraph.
Look at these lines in the first paragraph -
“sociologists’ approach to the subject is usually to focus on only one of these forms of influence to the exclusion of the other”.
The author states that the sociologist always focused only on one of the forms. But the author never states that the views of the sociologist were contrary to the form.
So option (b) and (c) are wrong.
