Without the audience and the revenue, the talented and creative people who are the lifeblood of the theater are abandoning it. No wonder standards are deteriorating.

By publishing these opinions, you yourself are discouraging new audiences from emerging and new talent from joining the theater.
Which one of the following is a questionable technique employed by the producer in responding to the critic? (A) focusing on the effects of the critic’s evaluation rather than on its content (B) accusing the critic of relying solely on opinion unsupported by factual evidence (C) challenging the motives behind the critic’s remarks rather than the remarks themselves (D) relying on emphasis rather than on argument (E) invoking authority in order to intimidate the critic

4. Michelangelo’s sixteenth-century Sistine Chapel paintings are currently being restored. A goal of the restorers is to uncover Michelangelo’s original work, and so additions made to Michelangelo’s paintings by later artists are being removed. However, the restorers have decided to make one exception: to leave intact additions that were painted by da Volterra.
Which one of the following, if true, most helps to reconcile the restorers’ decision with the goal stated in the passage? (A) The restorers believe that da Volterra stripped away all previous layers of paint before he painted his own additions to the Sistine Chapel. (B) Because da Volterra used a type of pigment that is especially sensitive to light, the additions to the Sistine Chapel that ad Volterra painted have relatively muted colors. (C) Da Volterra’s additions were painted in a style that was similar to the style used by Michelangelo. (D) Michelangelo is famous primarily for his sculptures and only secondarily for his paintings, whereas da Volterra is known exclusively for his paintings. (E) Da Volterra’s work is considered by certain art historians to be just as valuable as the work of additions to Michelangelo’s work.

5. The following appeared in a letter from a part-owner of a small retail clothing chain to her business partner:
“Commercial real estate prices have been rising steadily in the Sandida Heights neighborhood for several years, while the prices in the adjacent neighborhood of Palm Grove have remained the same. It seems obvious, then, that a retail space in Sandida Heights must now be much more expensive than a similar space in Palm Grove, which was not the case several years ago. So, it appears that retail spaces in Sandida Heights are now overpriced relative to those in Palm Grove. Therefore, it would be in our financial interest to purchase a retail space in Palm Grove rather than in Sandida Heights.”

C: However, the restorers maintain one addition painting from D.V. Resolve: Remove D.V's stuff will affect the quality of M's painting.
