Explanation
This question asks us to attribute a view to the author,
and since the author has not shared much opinion in the passage, the correct
answer is likely to be a cautious claim, not a bold one. Answer choice (A), for
example, mentions "feminist theory," and as feminist theory hasn't been
mentioned in the passage, choice (A) cannot be directly tied to the passage; we
have little to no grounds to believe that the author would believe (A). Answer
choice (B) is definitely correct in characterizing Braybon's
view as about liberation. Does the author likely think that the view "merits
clarification"? Maybe in the sense that the author replies to Goldstein by
speculating on Braybon's behalf. So we can keep (B)
in the running. Choice (C) is inaccurate; Braybon's
portrayal is focused on liberation, not voting. So (C) is out. Choice (D) may
be accurate, but the claim goes too far, because there is no discussion or even
mention of previous views of wartime responsibility. (E), like (D), introduces
concepts that haven't been discussed--both modern methods and arguably even
women's rights. Looking back at (B), we can be confident that the author
expresses that Braybon has legitimate responses to
Goldstein's view, but as these responses are speculative, further clarification
of her view is warranted.
The correct answer is (B).
