#7 - Global Reference, Main Point

[allik@umich.edu]

Hi - I feel silly asking a question about a main point question but I am really confused as to why D is right over B. I see why D is arguably right, but in my opinion, I felt B was stronger because it summarized the whole passage, rather than D which only discusses the last paragraph.

Hello allik@umich.edu,

Answer B is very general and doesn't even include the word "patent". Answer D is much more focused, and includes the idea that patents are maybe not so bad after all, which seems to describe the thrust of the passage pretty well.

Hope this helps,
David
