What the hell "nationalist" doing in OA of Q2. It is totally alien word.

I get why C is incorrect. It is never mentioned in passage that Artist associated with character; rather general female population associated with it.

Delete this question as there is no room for equating "racial justice" with "nationalism."

These kind of untested Questions daily shrink my faith on GMATClub RC's.

In Q2 - "Black internationalism" means bringing black people from all over the world under one umbrella, but it does not mean NATIONALISM per se. Or does it? Please elaborate.

I have a doubt regarding Q1 - How can we say that her views have evolved?

Official Explanation

1. The central theme of the passage is

Difficulty Level: 650-700

Explanation

The central figure of this passage is Una Marson – we are concerned about her perspectives, works and views. So Black feminism and internationalism can be seen only in the context of her stand on these issues.

Options A, C and E talk broadly about Black feminism, literature etc., and do not mention the author at all. Therefore, incorrect.

D: The passage doesn't talk about Una Marson's life – it focuses on specific works and a specific period. This is too generic and incorrect.

B: Correct. The passage shows how Marson's views on feminism evolved over the years as she moved from Jamaica to London.

Answer: B

Official Explanation

2. The author of the passage refers to Stella’s relationship with Pukumina most probably in order to

Difficulty Level: 750

Explanation

The 25th line of the passage says that 'These changes widened the scope of her black feminism, and informed and intersected with her intellectual ideas concerning black internationalism.' The author highlights the fact that Marson explores not just feminist themes through her character Stella, but also nationalist themes, by stressing on Stella's relationship with her Afro-Jamaican religion.

Only option A does this.

B: 'Stella's relationship with Pukkumina' has no relation to Marson's marginalization in London.

C: Marson's racial consciousness strengthens – we don't know whether Stella's does.

D: We don't know whether Marson identified with Stella's character.

E: Again, we don't know whether Marson used multiple works to challenge the idea of African backwardness – Pocomania is just one example. Secondly, the particular lines 27-29 do not really demonstrate the promotion of African culture or the challenging of African backwardness.

Answer: A
