Miriam, who reads above an eleventh grade level, is doing research for a paper on the French Revolution. She knows little about the topic and wants to read something that will provide helpful information.Which text best matches her reading purpose?

Miriam already reads above an eleventh-grade level, but she knows little about the French Revolution. A freshman-year college textbook on European history is likely to explain the topic clearly and give her a broad foundation. The scholarly journal article is more likely to focus on interpreting the revolution, which may be difficult without background knowledge.
