问题
Shanna: Owners of any work of art, simply by virtue of ownership, ethically have the right to destroy that artwork if they find it morally or aesthetically distasteful, or if caring for it becomes inconvenient. Jorge: Ownership of unique artworks, unlike ownership of other kinds of objects carries the moral right to possess but not to destroy. A unique work of art with aesthetic or historical value belongs to posterity and so must be preserved, whatever the personal wishes of its legal owner. On the basis of their statements, Shanna and Jorge are committed to disagreeing about the truth of which one of the following statements?
选项
A、Anyone who owns a portrait presenting his or her father in an unflattering light would for that reason alone be ethically justified in destroying it.
B、People who own aesthetically valuable works of art have no moral obligation to make them available for public viewing.
C、Valuable paintings by well-known artists are seldom intentionally damaged or destroyed by their owners.
D、If a piece of sculpture is not unique, its owner has no ethical obligation to preserve it if doing so proves burdensome.
E、It is legally permissible for a unique and historically valuable mural to be destroyed by its owner if he or she tires of it.
答案
A
解析
根据本题题干中的描述,我们知道Shanna对选项(A)的内容是赞成的,而Jorge可能就会认为毁坏这幅画在道德上是不合理的,因为这幅画虽然不符合它的拥有者的口味,但是它有可能是一幅珍奇的艺术大作,因此(A)是正确答案;(B)、(C)和(E)都不能从Shanna与Jorge的论述中推出;Shanna与Jorge都认同选项(D)的内容,因此(B)、(C)、(D)和(E)都是错误选项。
