标题: LSAT-10-4-11

11. Some critics claim that it is unfair that so many great works of art are housed in huge metropolitan museums, since the populations served by these museums already have access to a wide variety of important artwork. But this criticism is in principle unwarranted because the limited number of masterpieces makes wider distribution of them impractical. Besides, if a masterpiece is to be fully appreciated, it must be seen alongside other works that provide a social and historical context for it.

Which one of the following, if established, could most logically serve as the principle appealed to in the argument countering the critics’ claim?

(A) In providing facilities to the public, the goal should be to ensure that as many as possible of those people who could benefit from the facilities are able to do so.

(B) In providing facilities to the public, the goal should be to ensure that the greatest possible number of people gain the greatest benefit possible from them.

(C) It is unreasonable to enforce a redistribution of social goods that involves depriving some members of society of these goods in order to supply others.

(D) For it to be reasonable to criticize an arrangement as unfair, there must be a more equitable arrangement that is practically attainable.（D）

(E) A work of art should be displayed in conditions resembling as closely as possible those in which the work was originally intended to be displayed.

The answer is D. But I don't quite get it.

1)critic 的论点是什么？critic 说这么多great artwork shouldn't be put in huge Metropolitan museums, 因为到the population served by these meseums (即meseums 观众）已经可以看到很多的重要的艺术作品。

first, I don't understand how the critic reasoned since if those "great artwork" aren't housing in these museums, the population these meseums serve will not get access to the wide variety of the important works.

second, what the critic's point?

2) "Besides, if a masterpiece is to be fully appreciated, it must be seen alongside other works that provide a social and historical context for it." what does the bolded part refer to?

VALARIE，又是我来试试。

1。CRITIC的观点：将这麽多的艺术品放在大都市的博物馆不公平。理由是：这些博物馆服务的人群已经见过大量的各种重要艺术品（言下之意是应该分一些放到到都市外的博物馆，让大都市外的人也看一些）

2。要充分鉴别，观赏这些杰作，必须将它们和其他能提供一个大的社会文化环境的艺术品放在一起。（即和其他艺术品一起看，不能分开，才能充分了解它们）

3。问题实质要你找作者反对批评家所用的原则。文中作者举了两个理由，说明没有更合理的安排方式，只能这麽安排。要批评这种安排不合理，必须有更合理的安排，批评家又没提出。

二楼的分析说不过去。先分析一下提干：

题干共三句，其中第一句为critics的观点，后两句为对这一观点所作的反驳。而且后两句的关系为并列，即它们之间没有任何联系除了都具有相同的目的：反驳critics。

什么是critics的观点？It is unfair that...实际上，这种说法是有道理的。它隐含了critics的假设：如果一种arrangement能让更多的人看到艺术品，那么它就越公正。这就是公正的标准。实际上这就是critics的principle。后两句反驳中的第一句就是针对这个的，因此 this criticism is in priciple unwarranted. 这个反驳说的是可行性。所以分析到这里，正确答案基本上就出来了。5个备选项哪一个是针对公正的标准的？不就是D选项吗。再仔细看一下D项，它还认为可行性也是公正的标准，这不就对上了吗。

所以那个第三句是干扰性的信息。
