Read the passage. Contemporary historian Ian Mortimer showcases his historical expertise in the nonfiction book The Time Traveler’s Guide to Elizabethan England . Other people have created monotonous historical essays, but Mortimer has written an amusing and engrossing book. Which is the best phrase to eliminate because it is neither precise nor domain specific?
Answer
A
“contemporary historian”
B
“historical expertise”
C
“other people have created”
D
“monotonous historical essays”
Explanation
“Other people have created” is vague: it does not identify who the people are or what they created. The phrase is also not specific to historical writing or another scholarly field. “Monotonous historical essays,” by contrast, names a type of writing, even though “monotonous” is evaluative.
