The Sumpton town council recently voted to pay a prominent artist to create an abstract sculpture for the town square. Critics of this decision protested that town residents tend to dislike most abstract art, and any art in the town square should reflect their tastes. But a town council spokesperson dismissed this criticism, pointing out that other public abstract sculptures that the same sculptor has installed in other cities have been extremely popular with those cities’ local residents.
The statements above most strongly suggest that the main point of disagreement between the critics and the spokesperson is whether
选项
A、it would have been reasonable to consult town residents on the decision
B、most Sumpton residents will find the new sculpture to their taste
C、abstract sculptures by the same sculptor have truly been popular in other cities
D、a more traditional sculpture in the town square would be popular among local residents
E、public art that the residents of Sumpton would find desirable would probably be found desirable by the residents of other cities
答案
B
解析
Argument Construction
Situation After the Sumpton town council voted to pay a prominent sculptor to create an abstract sculpture for the town square, critics protested the decision. A town council spokesperson responded to the critics.
Reasoning What do the critics and the spokesperson mainly disagree about? The critics argue that Sumpton residents dislike most abstract art and that art in the town square should reflect their taste. Since the critics are protesting the town council’s decision, they are clearly inferring from the residents’ general attitude toward abstract art that the residents will dislike the specific sculpture the prominent sculptor will create. The spokesperson replies by arguing that in other cities, sculptures by the same sculptor have been very popular with local residents. The spokesperson implicitly infers from this that the sculpture the prominent sculptor will create for Sumpton will be popular with Sumpton residents—and therefore that the critics are mistaken.
A Neither the critics nor the spokesperson mentions consultation with the town residents on the decision.
B Correct. As explained above, the critics raise points implicitly suggesting that the residents will dislike the sculpture, whereas the spokesperson responds with a point implicitly supporting the opposite conclusion.
C The critics could concede that the sculptor’s work has been popular in other cities, but nonetheless hold that Sumpton residents have different tastes from those of the other cities’ residents.
D The spokesperson gives no indication regarding the attitudes of Sumpton residents regarding traditional sculpture.
E It may be that neither the critics nor the spokesperson holds this view. The spokesperson may hold that Sumpton residents are easier to please than residents of most other cities, whereas the critics may hold that Sumpton residents are far more traditional in their tastes than other cities’ residents.
The correct answer is B.
