Re: Tocqueville, a nineteenth-century writer known for his study of democr [#permalink]

I am confused b/w A & C.

Both the options give reasons that say Napolean was not responsible for poverty of Tocqueville in his childhood.
Rather option A talks about broader perspective that how centralized power(Napolean) was not responsible for the poverty of people whereas option C talks only about poverty of Tocqueville,others may be rich or poor we don't know.Moreover,the arguement is about the effects of Centralized Power,so it should viewed for the mass rather than an individual.

Can anybody explain plz??

­Option (A) is incorrect because it does not directly address Tocqueville's personal belief about the cause of his poverty, which is crucial for casting doubt on the biographers' claim. Option (C) is correct because it provides a direct statement about Tocqueville's personal belief, showing that he did not blame Napoleon’s rule for his poverty.
