[shingivyas]

Before the late nineteenth century, these views
coexisted within the feminist movement, often within
the writings of the same individual. Between 1890 nd
1920, however, relational feminism, which had been the
(20) dominant strain in feminist thought, and which still predominates
among European and non-Western feminists,
lost ground in England and the United States.

My answers are in bold.

126. The passage suggests that the author of the passage
believes which of the following?
(A) The predominance of individualist feminism in
English-speaking countries is a historical
phenomenon, the causes of which have not yet
been investigated.
(B) The individualist and relational feminist views are
irreconcilable, given their theoretical differences
concerning the foundations of society.
(C) A consensus concerning the direction of future
feminist politics will probably soon emerge, given
the awareness among feminists of the need for
cooperation among women.
(D) Political adversaries of feminism often misuse
arguments predicated on differences between the
sexes to argue that the existing social system
should be maintained.

Relational arguments have a major pitfall: because
they underline women’s physiological and psychological
(40) distinctiveness, they are often appropriated by political
adversaries and used to endorse male privilege.

(E) Relational feminism provides the best theoretical
framework for contemporary feminist politics, but
individualist feminism could contribute much
toward refining and strengthening modern feminist
thought.

129. According to the author, which of the following was true
of feminist thought in Western societies before 1890?
(A) Individualist feminist arguments were not found in
the thought or writing of non-English-speaking
feminists.
(B) Individualist feminism was a strain in feminist
thought, but another strain, relational feminism,
predominated.
(C) Relational and individualist approaches were equally
prevalent in feminist thought and writing.

Before the late nineteenth century, these views
coexisted within the feminist movement, often within
the writings of the same individual. Between 1890 nd
1920, however, relational feminism, which had been the
(20) dominant strain in feminist thought, and which still predominates
among European and non-Western feminists,
lost ground in England and the United States.

(D) The predominant view among feminists held that the
welfare of women was ultimately less important than
the welfare of children.
(E) The predominant view among feminists held that the
sexes should receive equal treatment under the law.
