There is no mystery as to why figurative painting revived in the late 1970s. People want to look at recognizable images. Sorting out art theories reflected in abstract paintings is no substitute for the sense of empathy that comes from looking at a realistic painting of a figure in a landscape. Perhaps members of the art-viewing public resented abstract art because they felt that its lack of realistic subject matter was a rejection of the viewers and their world.
Which one of the following most accurately expresses the main point of the passage?
-
(A) Abstract paintings often include shapes or forms that are suggestive of real objects or emotions.
-
(B) The art-viewing public wished to see traditional subjects treated in a nontraditional manner.
-
(C) Paintings that depict a recognizable physical world rather than the emotional world of the artist’s life require more artistic talent to create.
-
(D) The general public is unable to understand the theories on which abstract painting is based.
-
(E) The artistic preferences of the art-viewing public stimulated the revival.

The term “pit bull” does not designate a breed of dog, as do the terms “German shepherd” and “poodle.” It is like the terms “Seeing Eye dog” and “police dog,” which designate dogs according to what they do. If you take two German shepherds and place them side by side, you cannot tell by appearance alone which is the police dog and which is the Seeing Eye dog.
Which one of the following is the main point of the passage?
-
(A) German shepherds can be pit bulls.
-
(B) Pit bulls can be distinguished from other kinds of
dogs by appearance alone.
-
(C) A dog is a pit bull because of what it does, not
because of its breed.
-
(D) German shepherds can function both as police dogs
and as Seeing Eye dogs.
-
(E) Some breeds of dogs cannot be distinguished from
other breeds of dogs by appearance alone.

EX: Argument by analogy MP Q:1
- The term "pit bull" is like the term "seeing eye dog" and "police dog"
- The term "pitbull" is the subject
- "Is" is the verb
- The stimulus is comparing the term "Pitt bull" to the terms "seeing eye dog" and "police dog"
- The stimulus is just comparing the term "Pitt bill" to "German Shepherd" and "poodle"
- "German Shepherd" and "poodle" = breed
- "Seeing eye dog" and "police dog"= What they do
Meaning a dog is a pitbull because of what it does not because of its breed.
(C) is the correct answer |
