Reading the passage
The government sponsored a cultural program and asked artists to display Mexico's richness and possibility. Keep its request separate from what the artists then chose to do. The government supported the project; the artists supplied its theoretical foundation and developed their styles.
Working the answers
- A
The artists used outside influences, but we aren't told that the government encouraged that particular choice.
- B
Many muralists used realism. That doesn't show that the government instructed them to use it.
- CCorrect
“Mexico's richness and possibility” matches heritage and future promise. This captures the aim of the government's cultural program in paragraph one.
- D
The opening explicitly assigns the theoretical foundation to “the artists themselves.” D gives their role to the sponsor.
- E
Nothing establishes that the government preferred innovative artists over realists. That contrast is especially unhelpful here because the artists could use realism and innovate within it. The government’s stated request concerns representing Mexico, not selecting one of these supposedly opposed camps.
