claim is based.

GRE ISSUE

54History teaches us only one thing: knowing about the past cannot help people to make important decisions today.

103The study of history has value only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily lives.

120So much is new and complex today that looking back for an understanding of the past provides little guidance for

living in the present.

125The past is no predictor of the future.

189If people disregard the great works of the past, it is because these works no longer answer the needs of the

present.
