Hi!
Just wanted to understand why author has mentioned the ''A patron of the young Michelangelo'' example?
Has this example been used to emphasize the ''The modern age of faking again in the Italian Renaissance part''?
Can i use this information to back my info for AC (C)? I think so because it seems that example has been used to emphasize the ''the modern age of faking part''.

That example is meant to show one of the motives people have for creating fakes. But the question is asking about what is it that determines something is a fake, and the best evidence for that is in the very first line of the passage:

A fake can be defined as an artwork intended to deceive.

The example certainly supports that by showing the patron's intention to deceive potential buyers, so it's helpful as an illustration of that general concept,
