Trap: Biography for Irish Writers
Captions available
The idea
Yeats, Joyce, Wilde and Shaw have well-known lives, and options may offer facts from them. Unit five's rule holds: the question asks about the passage. National identity and biography are context, and neither is evidence about what a printed extract does.
In practice
Context is not evidence.
Where people slip
Unit five's rule, again.
