In striking contrast to Burckhardt, Joan Kelly in her famous 1977 essay, \u201cDid Women Have a Renaissance?\u201d argued that the Renaissance was a period of economic and social decline for women relative both to Renaissance men and to medieval women. Recently, however, a significant trend among&nbsp;<strong>feminist scholars<\/strong>&nbsp;has entailed a rejection of both Kelly\u2019s dark vision of the Renaissance and Burckhardt\u2019s rosy one. Many recent works by these scholars stress the ways in which differences among Renaissance women\u2014especially in terms of social status and religion\u2014work to complicate the kinds of generalizations both Burckhardt and Kelly made on the basis of their observations about upper-class Italian women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trend is also evident, however, in works focusing on those middle- and upper-class European women whose ability to write gives them disproportionate representation in the historical record. Such women were, simply by virtue of their literacy, members of a tiny minority of the population, so it is risky to take their descriptions of their experiences as typical of \u201cfemale experience\u201d in any general sense. Tina Krontiris, for example, in her fascinating study of six Renaissance women writers, does tend at times to conflate \u201cwomen\u201d and \u201cwomen writers,\u201d assuming that women\u2019s gender, irrespective of other social differences, including literacy, allows us to view women as a homogeneous social group and make that group an object of analysis. Nonetheless, Krontiris makes a significant contribution to the field and is representative of those authors who offer what might be called a cautiously optimistic assessment of Renaissance women\u2019s achievements, although she also stresses the social obstacles Renaissance women faced when they sought to raise their \u201coppositional voices.\u201d Krontiris is concerned to show women intentionally negotiating some power for themselves (at least in the realm of public discourse) against potentially constraining ideologies, but in her sober and thoughtful concluding remarks, she suggests that such verbal opposition to cultural stereotypes was highly circumscribed; women seldom attacked the basic assumptions in the ideologies that oppressed them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"12-gmat-sample-question-31\">GMAT Sample Question 3.1:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The author of the passage discusses Krontiris primarily to provide an example of a writer who _______?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. is highly critical of the writings of certain Renaissance women<br>B. supports Kelly\u2019s view of women\u2019s status during the Renaissance<br>C. has misinterpreted the works of certain Renaissance women<br>D. has rejected the views of both Burckhardt and Kelly<br>E. has studied Renaissance women in a wide variety of social and religious contexts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"13-gmat-sample-question-32\">GMAT Sample Question 3.2:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the passage, Krontiris\u2019s work differs from that of the scholars mentioned in highlighted text in which of the following ways?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. Krontiris\u2019s work stresses the achievements of Renaissance women rather than the obstacles to their success.<br>B. Krontiris\u2019s work is based on a reinterpretation of the work of earlier scholars.<br>C. Krontiris\u2019s views are at odds with those of both Kelly and Burkhardt.<br>D. Krontiris\u2019s work focuses on the place of women in Renaissance society.<br>E. Krontiris\u2019s views are based exclusively on the study of a privileged group of women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"14-gmat-sample-question-33\">GMAT Sample Question 3.3:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the passage, feminist scholars cite Burckhardt\u2019s view of Renaissance women primarily for which of the following reasons?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. Burckhardt\u2019s view forms the basis for most arguments refuting Kelly&#8217;s point of view.<br>B. Burckhardt\u2019s view has been discredited by Kelly.<br>C. Burckhardt\u2019s view is one that many feminist scholars wish to refute.<br>D. Burckhardt\u2019s work provides rich historical evidence of inequality between Renaissance women and men.<br>E. Burckhardt\u2019s work includes historical research supporting the arguments of the feminist scholars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"15-gmat-sample-question-34\">GMAT Sample Question 3.4:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be inferred that both Burckhardt and Kelly have been criticized by the scholars mentioned in highlight text for which of the following?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. Assuming that women writers of the Renaissance are representative of Renaissance women in general<br>B. Drawing conclusions that are based on the study of an atypical group of women<br>C. Failing to describe clearly the relationship between social status and literacy among Renaissance women<br>D. Failing to acknowledge the role played by Renaissance women in opposing cultural stereotypes<br>E. Failing to acknowledge the ways in which social status affected the creative activities of Renaissance women<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"16-gmat-sample-question-35\">GMAT Sample Question 3.5:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The author of the passage suggests that Krontiris incorrectly assumes that<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. social differences among Renaissance women are less important than the fact that they were women<br>B. literacy among Renaissance women was more prevalent than most scholars today acknowledge<br>C. during the Renaissance, women were able to successfully oppose cultural stereotypes relating to gender<br>D. Renaissance women did not face many difficult social obstacles relating to their gender<br>E. in order to attain power, Renaissance women attacked basic assumptions in the ideologies that oppressed them<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"17-gmat-sample-question-36\">GMAT Sample Question 3.6:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The last sentence in the passage serves primarily to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. suggest that Krontiris\u2019s work is not representative of recent trends among feminist scholars<br>B. undermine the argument that literate women of the Renaissance sought to oppose social constraints imposed on them<br>C. show a way in which Krontiris\u2019s work illustrates a \u201ccautiously optimistic&#8221;assessment of Renaissance women\u2019s achievements<br>D. summarize Krontiris\u2019s view of the effect of literacy on the lives of upper- and middle-class Renaissance women<br>E. illustrate the way in which Krontiris\u2019s study differs from the studies done by Burckhardt and Kelly<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"18-gmat-sample-question-37\">GMAT Sample Question 3.7:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The author of the passage implies that the women studied by Krontiris are unusual in which of the following ways?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. They faced obstacles less formidable than those faced by other Renaissance women.<br>B. They have been seen by historians as more interesting than other Renaissance women.<br>C. They were more concerned about recording history accurately than were other Renaissance women.<br>D. Their perceptions are more likely to be accessible to historians than are those of most other Renaissance women.<br>E. Their concerns are likely to be of greater interest to feminist scholars than are the ideas of most other Renaissance women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"19-gmat-sample-question-4\">GMAT Sample Question 4:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"20-type-critical-reasoning\">Type: Critical Reasoning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"21-sub-type-logical-completion\">Sub-type: Logical Completion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A recent study shows that teenagers participating in after school creative activities such as music and painting are more likely to show&nbsp;symptoms of depression than teenagers who do not engage in such activities.

Since recipes can be easily replicated, the restaurant with a new dish advertises it aggressively to attract customers while the novelty factor can still be used as a selling point.
