As part of a joint planning process, the Literature departments of two schools - Riverview High School (RHS) and Westside High School (WHS) - have decided that all future literary events at each school shall be directly connected to the subject of expertise of the faulty at the Literature department of the respective school. RHS's areas of expertise are pre-19th century American Novels, 20th century French Plays, and Indian English Literature. WHS's areas of expertise are 19th century American Novels, 20th century Russian Plays and Novels, and African-American Poetry.
In addition, RHS's next literary event must be devoted to something other than American or French Literature, but restricted to the 20th century. WHS's next literary event must be devoted to Literature that narrates a historical event, or at least the setting of the literary works discussed should correspond to the historical time to which they belong, preferably including at least some work by female writers in the Western world.
For each of the two schools, select a work that could be Included in the school's next literary event without violating any of the requirements of the event. Make only two selections, one in each column.

This is a Two-Part Analysis question that reads more like a logic puzzle than a literature question, the actual books barely matter, the categories do.
1. RHS's rule: skip American and French literature, stay in the 20th century. RHS's three areas are pre-19th century American novels (out), 20th century French plays (out), and Indian English literature (no exclusion). So RHS needs a 20th century Indian English work. "Bravely Fought the Queen" by Mahesh Dattani fits exactly.
2. WHS's rule: literature that narrates a historical event or has a setting matching the era it's categorized under, preferably with a female Western writer. WHS's areas are 19th century American novels, 20th century Russian plays/novels, and African-American poetry.
3. "Doctor Zhivago" fits the Russian category and is explicitly historical, but it's written by a man, so it only checks two of three boxes.
4. "To The Lighthouse" is by a female Western writer but doesn't belong to any of WHS's three categories, so it's disqualified regardless of the "preferably" condition.
5. "Beloved" by Toni Morrison narrates a real historical event from 19th century slavery, lines up with the 19th century American novels category, and Morrison is a female Western writer. All three conditions in one pick.
Answer: RHS gets "Bravely Fought the Queen," WHS gets "Beloved."
The trap is picking whatever sounds the most "historical" on its face without checking it against every listed condition. When a TPA question stacks three requirements, the credited answer usually satisfies all three, not just the obvious one.
Takeaway: build a checklist from the conditions first, then test every option against all of them, don't stop at the first one that half-fits.
