Which of the following is an assumption that supports drawing the conclusion above from the reason given for that conclusion?
55. In recent years many cabinetmakers have been winning acclaim as artists. But since furniture must be useful, cabinetmakers must exercise their craft with an eye to the practical utility of their product. For this reason, cabinetmaking is not art.
Which of the following is an assumption that supports drawing the conclusion above from the reason given for that conclusion?
(A) Some furniture is made to be placed in museums, where it will not be used by anyone.
(B) Some cabinetmakers are more concerned than others with the practical utility of the products they produce.
(C) Cabinetmakers should be more concerned with the practical utility of their products than they currently are.
(D) An object is not an art object if its maker pays attention to the object’s practical utility. D
(E) Artists are not concerned with the monetary value of their products.
做提思路供楼主参考:一看到a b 中的some,马上直接删除,gmat最不喜欢用个别现象来说事;然后e 中的monetary也是无关;就剩下c 和d,c中也有很多无关-should,currently等都不是文中要讨论的主题。很快就是d,确认一下gap也就完全肯定了。
