3. According to the passage, readership of books and pamphlets increased in the late 18th century because

This Detail question concerns the second paragraph, which cites a reduction in royal censorship as a cause. Choice (D) is therefore correct. Choice (A) is out of scope; the education of women is never mentioned. Choice (B) is a distortion; the passage says publications, not the literacy rate, tripled. Choice (C) is incorrect, as the passage does not discuss the number of scandals over time. Choice (E) is not mentioned in the passage.

Answer: D

4. According to the passage, Rohan

The first statement can’t be proven—the passage does not indicate who the clever forger was. The second statement is correct—the third paragraph identifies Rohan as a “social climber.” In the fourth paragraph, the author states that “10,000 people came to the doors of the Bastille demanding Rohan’s release,” which supports the third statement.

5. The author suggests that Marie Antoinette

The point of the final paragraph is that the queen’s unpopularity caused significant problems for the monarchy. The passage does not say whether the queen met Rohan; she wouldn’t have to meet someone personally to order that he be punished. The third statement is backwards: the queen’s power must have had limits since Rohan was released despite her prosecution.

6. The author’s tone could best be described as

This is essentially a vocabulary question. “Disinterested” does not mean uninterested—it means unbiased. GRE authors are never described as “arrogant” or “supercilious,” as these words are too negative (and inappropriate), so eliminate (A). It is also very unlikely that “prim” and “meretricious” or “sober” and “lascivious” would be correct for the same reason, so eliminate (B) and (D). As for (E), the author is “analytical,” but no phrases or adjectives in the passage justify “enthusiastic.”

Answer: C
