PrepTest 39, Section 3, Question 7
Jorge: You won't be able to write well about the rock music of the 1960s, since you were just an infant then. Rock music of the 1960s was created by and for people who were then in their teens and early twenties.

Ruth: Your reasoning is absurd. There are living writers who write well about ancient Roman culture, even though those writers are obviously not a part of ancient Roman culture. Why should my youth alone prevent me from writing well about the music of a period as recent as the 1960s?

whether people who are not now in their teens or early twenties can write well about the rock music of the 1960s
whether Ruth's ideas about the rock music of the 1960s are likely to appeal to people who were in their teens or early twenties during that period
