Question 28e6339e

Expression of Ideas - Rhetorical Synthesis

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

  • Some powerful works of literature have so influenced readers that new legislation has been passed as a result.
  • The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano (1789) is the autobiography of a man who endured slavery on both sides of the Atlantic.
  • Equiano’s book contributed to the passage of the Slave Trade Act of 1807.
  • The Jungle (1906) is a fictional work by Upton Sinclair that describes unsanitary conditions in US meatpacking plants.
  • Sinclair’s book contributed to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906.

The student wants to emphasize a difference between the two books. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
