Question

[122]. Passage:

History textbooks often present kings and battles while omitting artisans, peasants and women who made everyday life possible.

A fuller history therefore asks not only who ruled, but who worked, who moved and who remembered. On the passage about history textbooks, what is its central argument?

1.
It argues only for more funding without any change
2.
It argues the subject should be abandoned
3.
ordinary people

It argues only experts should decide
