Cross-Text Connections
Two passages, two viewpoints, one question: how do these connect? These problems test your ability to identify relationships between arguments. Maybe Author 2 provides evidence supporting Author 1's claim. Maybe they directly contradict each other. Or maybe they're talking past each other entirely.

The common mistake here is projecting a relationship that feels logical but isn't supported by the text. Stick to what each author actually says, not what they probably think. Pay special attention to qualifiers like "some" or "often," since subtle wording differences can change whether two authors agree or not.
