Today’s ACT question of the day comes from the reading passage about the medieval court system.  This detail question asks us: who was the accuser in these medieval trials?

We first have to find the spot in the passage that talks about the accuser.  Toward the top, we see that “[o]ne party publicly…accused the other.” Sounds like this party is just anyone off the street!

Therefore, answer choice H, a private person, is correct.  Stick closely to what’s written in the passage and detail questions are a breeze.
