Q4

I picked C although I didn't like the word 'widely' because it wasn't completely supported by the text. I can't find D however.

Thanks

Notice that answer choice (C) states: His films are widely misunderstood by critics IN SENEGAL.

We do not know the location of these critics. I agree with you also in being worried about "widely" misunderstood. That would be an assumption our part.

Choice D is not explicitly stated in the passage. However, look at the last paragraph. Lines 48-54. These lines have binary groupings of good-evil, powerful-powerless, wealthy-poor. We can infer that this is a broad range of social classes. These binary groupings were used by Sembene in his protagonists to develop a social consciousness.

I thought D is from Paragraph 2, a thief, a corrupted civil servant, a member of the elite, a street merchant....

It looks like there are two sentences that support (D). I agree with the previous poster; when I did this passage, I used 23-24 to support (D), but Timmy's line reference is also definitely applicable.

It's an embarrassment of riches!

I picked D for this, but was just a little uncomfortable with the "broad range" element of the answer choice. I felt like it was a bit of a stretch to assume that the rich-poor binary, and thief/elite meant that the range of characters covered was "broad". I felt like it was two main groups being contrasted (elites v. poor) and wasn't entirely comfortable calling that broad, I was looking for several other mentions of characters who were in neither the rich or poor class of society to better qualify this answer. I ultimately still choose it but was wondering how I could have gotten comfortable with it faster. Any thoughts are appreciated.

You were in the mindset perfect for Must be True questions, but not for Most Supported questions. This question asks for an inference that is most supported. So now you ask, is any answer choice more supported than this one? No way.

Pay close attention to "must be true," "can be inferred," "is properly concluded from." These all set a high burden of proof.

Compared to "most supported," "most strongly suggested," etc.
