Choice (E) is a no. Neither author talks about Native American art.
- 01:01
Also, the museum is focused on more than just historical events. (C) is officially nixed.
- 01:07
The first author doesn't mention anything in his passage about the pre-Ice Age. As far
- 01:12
as we know, the museum has zero interest in this.

Choice (D) is out.
- 01:16

We can eliminate this one. And here we are. Both passages do indeed focus
- 01:29

- 01:33
Don't worry. You'll be a hit at the Natural History Museum...
