The correct answer is A: an opportunity for a close reading of the primary source. Explication de Texte is a French method of literary analysis that allows for limited reader response, similar to close reading in the English speaking literary tradition. The method includes an examination of the structure, style, imagery, and other aspects of a work. It was particularly advocated by Gustave Lanson.

Explication de Text's format is:

-A brief summary of the literal, not the figurative, content.

-Text's type, structure, and its tone.
