Reading the passage
Scar Art shows the day-to-day hardships of rural life. I'd picture someone struggling through ordinary work or living with poverty, rather than a grand public triumph. We need a scene that fits that focus on the private, mundane and particular.
Working the answers
- A
A public celebration of political victory doesn't fit as well as an ordinary person's hardship. This points toward a triumphant political narrative rather than the daily rural realities emphasized by Scar Art.
- B
Destruction sounds bleak, but this is a symbolic treatment of a large fire. It doesn't give us the concrete, everyday rural hardship that defines the movement here.
- CCorrect
The poor clothing, weary face and hard work make an ordinary peasant's difficult daily life visible. Those details fit the explicit emphasis on “day-to-day hardships of rural life.”
- D
A caricature of Mao directly attacks a political figure. That differs from the described focus on private, ordinary experiences. The later political co-opting of Scar Art doesn't make this the best illustration of its original approach.
- E
This sounds like an appealing traditional rural scene, with no hardship specified. It fits Native Soil's nostalgia better than Scar Art's bleak view.
