Why can't D be the answer for question 4.


Official Explanation


4. According to the passage, a problem with timelines is

Explanation

In the last paragraph, a listed implicit flaw is that the events are presented as independent—without context, which matches choice (B).

The passage mentions the prominent placement of timelines, choice (A), and use of photos, choice (E), but does not suggest that these are problems.

Choice (C) is false, as the passage states that these timelines had beginnings and ends.

Regarding (D), the author does not challenge the factual accuracy of timelines.

Now, certainly, one can easily surmise that the timeline authors are not consciously promoting these implications, and instead assume that the viewer will automatically acknowledge that it is not a comprehensive history but rather a simple summary of selected events through time. The danger of using the timeline as tool, of course, lies squarely in that assumption. a teaching tool, of course, lies squarely in that assumption.


from the last part of the passage the using of timeline to teach history is criticized.

A says the exact opposite. A endorse the timeline completely which is wrong.

Hoep this helps

Official Explanation


2. The author’s attitude toward timelines can best be described as

Explanation

The author argues that timelines are simplistic and misleading; the author is “wary and critical” of the devices, choice (D). The words “condescending and impatient” in answer choice (A) would never describe a GRE author.

Regarding choice (B), the author is not “bemused,” or amused, at all. Nor is the author “negative or complacent,” as stated in choice (E).

Answer: D
