Question

The author’s statement regarding how artists use the language of art implies that -

• A. Artists are better equipped than are art historians to provide detailed evaluations of other artists’ work
• B. Many artists have an unusually quick, intuitive understanding of language
• C. Artists can produce works of art even if they cannot analyse their methods of doing so

Answer 1

The correct option is A Artists are better equipped than are art historians to provide detailed evaluations of other artists’ work

The answer to this question lies in the last line of the passage -
