The study described in Passage 2 differs from the museum described in Passage 1 in that it...what?
- 00:39
Since we took notes on both passages... right?...we can boil them down to two main topics.
- 00:45

Passage 2: historical landmarks and new discoveries about Native Americans during the Ice Age.

It is not true that the museum is open only by appointment. That... would be weird.

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.
- 01:15
Choice (D) is out.
- 01:16
What about B? Well, both of these statements about each passage are true, but the point
- 01:21
of the first passage really has nothing to do with its East Coast location.
- 01:25
We can eliminate this one. And here we are. Both passages do indeed focus
- 01:29
on different historical periods. So it's choice (A).
- 01:33
Don't worry. You'll be a hit at the Natural History Museum...
