    @KSmith422, Is the explanation for the correct answer not there, or is the entire question just not there? If you could clarify, that'd be great. If it's the explanation, we do not have video explanations yet for every question, but we're happy to walk through any questions you have on the message board in the meantime. Here's the explanation for question 21: The question asks us to select the answer that best states the main idea of the passage. The conclusion of the passage is the first sentence of the third paragraph, which goes from lines 35 through 37 and states, "These differences in demographics partly explain differences in the kinds of resistance that slaves and serfs practiced in their respective countries." The first paragraph provides context for the author's argument, the second paragraph serves as a referent to the "differences in demographics" mentioned in the conclusion, and the rest of the third paragraph provides support for the conclusion. Now that we've identified what the conclusion/main point of this passage is, it's time to find the answer choice that best paraphrases the first sentence of the third paragraph. Answer A says, "Differences in the demographics of United States slavery and Russian serfdom can help explain the different kinds of resistance practiced by slaves and serfs in their respective countries." This is an excellent paraphrase of "These differences in demographics partly explain differences in the kinds of resistance that slaves and serfs practiced in their respective countries," so it's the correct answer choice. It captures the main point of the passage. Does this help? Let us know if you have any more questions!
