Reading the passage
Cars, hot dogs, table lamps, romances, and war stories: these are examples of what appears in the paintings. Why list them here? The preceding sentence says contemporary painting was missing contemporary life. These familiar objects and stories show how Lichtenstein brought it back in.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
The list supports the claim that his paintings reflect the life and culture around him. It's evidence for the realism just introduced.
- B
The examples aren't introduced to show what he's mocking. Their immediate job is to show the presence of contemporary life.
- C
No corresponding list from abstract expressionism is supplied for comparison. The sentence is illustrating Lichtenstein's subject matter.
- D
The sentence identifies subjects and objects, not the emotions at the heart of the work. Nostalgia and sweetness are developed afterward.
- E
Listing the imagery doesn't itself endorse an attitude toward consumer culture. The next sentence turns to the particular way he treats that culture.
