Reading the passage
Who is he pushing back against? The final paragraph names excessive sophistication in both later abstract expressionists and some other pop artists. The common target is the pretension, not membership in just one movement.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
His rebellion reaches beyond abstract expressionism to overly sophisticated art more broadly. The references to both groups support that distinction directly.
- B
Borrowing commercial-art techniques doesn't mean commercial art is his main target. The account doesn't describe the rebellion this way.
- C
This expands the target to abstract expressionism in general. The second paragraph expressly distinguishes the powerful early work from the later generation being challenged.
- D
The writer distinguishes Lichtenstein's response from jaded cynicism about consumer culture. An objection to consumerism isn't the stated basis of his rebellion.
- E
Simple lines and colors are features of pop art, not the qualities identified as his objection. The criticism concerns excessive sophistication.
