6. It can be inferred from the passage that the author would agree with which one of the following statements regarding changes in painting since the nineteenth century?

(A) The artistic experiments of the nineteenth century led painters to use a variety of methods in creating portraits, which they then applied to other subject matter.

(B) The nineteenth-century knowledge of light and movement provided by photography inspired the abstract works characteristic of modern art.

(C) Once painters no longer felt that they had to paint conventional portraits, they turned exclusively to abstract portraiture.

(D) Once painters were less limited to the impressionist style, they were able to experiment with a variety of styles of abstract art.

(E) Once painters painted fewer conventional portraits, they had greater opportunity to move beyond the literal depiction of objects.

原文中最后一段总结很明显since photography preempted painting as the means of obtaining portraits, painters had more freedom to vary their subject matter, thus giving rise to the abstract creations characteristic of modern art.

我横看竖看都觉得答案是B,标准答案是E,怎解啊？谢谢！

"原文中最后一段总结很明显since photography preempted painting as the means of obtaining portraits, painters had more freedom to vary their subject matter, thus giving rise to the abstract creations characteristic of modern art. "------------从这段话得出的答案就应该是E, 为什么是B 呢? this sentence indicates that the development of photograph allowed painters to vary their subject matter.

Why not B? B) The nineteenth-century knowledge of light and movement provided by photography inspired the abstract works characteristic of modern art.

Actually in the previous part of the paragraph, it mentioned that Impressionist artists studied the elements of light and movement captured by photograph and used their new understanding to try to more accurately capture reality in their work.
