QUESTION 2The topic of the passage is Pickett’s interpretation of American military history. In the second paragraph, the author states that while Pickett’s work provides a refreshingly candid argument of why America goes to war, he overstates the case when he argues that these abstract causes typically lead to a war hysteria in which American leadership can no longer enforce any measured policies. In other words, while the author believes that some of the ideas Pickett presents are correct, the author also notes that Pickett’s conclusions cannot be fully supported.The best answer is therefore choice (D). All the other answers are outside the scope of the passage. Additionally, choices (B) and (E) are extreme.
