Practice Reading: Multiple Choice, Multiple Answers ID: #43403 Fallacy

Instructions ›

Read the text and answer the question by selecting all the correct responses. You will need to select more than one response.

The arts which today have most vitality for the average person are things he or she does not take to be arts: for instance, the movies, jazz, comic strips, and, too frequently, lurid newspaper accounts of the week's events. For, wherry what they know as art is relegated to the museum and gallery, the unconquerable impulse towards experiences enjoyable in themselves finds such outlet as the daily environment provides. Many people who protest against the museum conception of art still share the fallacy from which that conception springs. For the popular notion comes from a separation of art from the objects and scenes of ordinary experience that many theorists and critics pride themselves upon holding and even elaborating. The times when select and distinguished objects are closely connected with the products of usual vocations are the times when appreciation of the former is most rife and most keen.

What does the text imply about the general public's engagement with art?

* Click on the correct answers

The general public primarily appreciates art that is displayed in museums and galleries. The division of art from everyday experiences contributes to a narrow conception of what is considered art. There is a strong protest against the inclusion of everyday objects and scenes in the realm of art. Engagement with art is most profound when art is integrated with daily life and work. The appreciation for traditional forms of art is declining irreversibly. Movies, jazz, comic strips, and newspaper accounts are not considered forms of art by the average person.

Option 2: "The division of art from everyday experiences contributes to a narrow conception of what is considered art."

Explanation: This option is correct as the text implies that the separation of art from ordinary experiences leads to a limited understanding of art. It mentions that many theorists and critics maintain this separation, which contributes to a narrow conception of what art is.

Option 1: "The general public primarily appreciates art that is displayed in museums and galleries."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text suggests that the average person does not primarily appreciate art in museums or galleries. Instead, it states that the arts with the most vitality for the average person are things like movies and jazz, which are not typically found in museums.

Option 3: "There is a strong protest against the inclusion of everyday objects and scenes in the realm of art."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text does not indicate a strong protest against including everyday objects in art. Instead, it discusses how many people still hold onto the fallacy of separating art from everyday experiences.

Option 4: "Engagement with art is most profound when art is integrated with daily life and work."

Explanation: This option is incorrect as the text does not explicitly state that engagement with art is most profound when integrated with daily life. While it suggests that appreciation is heightened when art is connected to usual vocations, it does not claim that this integration is the most profound form of engagement.

Option 5: "The appreciation for traditional forms of art is declining irreversibly."

Explanation: This option is correct because the text implies that traditional forms of art, which are often confined to museums, are not where the average person's appreciation lies. The focus on more accessible forms of art suggests a decline in appreciation for traditional art.

Option 6: "Movies, jazz, comic strips, and newspaper accounts are not considered forms of art by the average person."

Explanation: This option is correct as the text indicates that the average person does not recognize these forms as art, stating that what they know as art is relegated to museums and galleries, while they engage with these other forms in their daily lives.
