Hi experts KarishmaB GMATNinja DmitryFarber,
In question-4, I selected option A by referring to the below part of the passage on Duverger's findings with an understanding that he didn't include some factors, hence, his findings are limited.
"In addition, Duverger's discussion of his findings was hampered by his failure to consider certain specific factors important to women's electoral participation at the time he collected his data: the influence of political regimes, the effects of economic factors, and the ramifications of political and social relations between women and men."
Could you please help me understand why we can't look at this part and infer?
Also, I read some explanations referring to "However, since these contexts have changed over time, Duverger’s approach has proved more durable than his actual findings." to infer option C which is the correct answer.
My question is how can we say that his findings are not durable or out-dated as the passage just says that approach is more durable than actual findings which doesn't mean that actual findings are NOT durable at all.

Question 4
agrasan
The fact that the contexts used by Duverger have changed implies that those contexts are outdated, so (C) works. Sure, if you're being literal, the text does imply that there could be SOME level of durability to the findings. Regardless, the durability of the findings is called into question.
The author does not cite the NUMBER of countries in the study a as limitation of the Duverger's findings, so (A) is out.
