Q3 - A century in certain ways

[dan]

3. (D)
Question Type: Inference
This argument makes a parallel between how people behave at the end of a century and how people behave at the end of a life. If people look back at the events of their lives as their lives come to an end, then we can infer that people will look back at the events of the century as the century comes to an end. Answer choice (D) clearly expresses this.

(A) is incorrect because a century’s end will prompt reminiscence of the century’s events, not reminiscence of the people’s lives.
(B) is out of scope. There is no indication that people would be fearful.
(C) looks forward instead of backward.
(E) is out of scope. There is no reason to conclude that people would look back on the unfortunate events.

Hi,

I couldn't understand why there is no E option. Isn't it possible for people to look back?

Best regards.
