Would be thankful if someone can break this down in layman terms.
I came back to this question after weeks and still selected the same options that I had earlier, showing that I am still failing to interpret the statement at its foundation
So, here's the question
In American Indian art, the
supposed distinction between modern and traditional was
fabricated by critics, and when
artists have control over interpretation of their own work, the distinction
appears, happily, to have been ________.
A eliminated
B reinforced
C put to rest
D intensified
E recognized
F established
In AI art(can be any art) as per critics there are distinctions(varying features) between traditional and modern forms. However, when artists interpret the distinctions are gone.
So, sentence elaborates the difference in the two interpretations and that difference is about possible distinctions of one over the other - modern and traditional.
Know that 'supposed' expresses assumption. Hence, as the structure of the sentence suggests, artists' interpretation should be opposite which only A and C elaborates.
B, E and F goes in same direction as critics'. D gives another meaning to the sentence, as in artists amplifying what critics say. Also, D can't be the answer as no other words matches to its meaning.
Answer A and C.
