Global reference, must be true, subject perspective. The correct answer is (C).
Answer (A) - When it comes to 'hidden' values in art, it is the artists putting their own values into the art, not hiding the ideals of the elite within the art, so this is incorrect.
Answer (B) - Taruskin doesn't speak about modern day artists, so this is not supported by the passage.
Answer (C) - This is the correct answer. Support for this is around line (50), where the author basically restates this answer choice.
Answer (D)- This is counter to the passage, which discusses how artists actually often needed to seek out benefactors to produce their art.
Answer (E) - Taruskin doesn't acknowledge that art might have belied the values of the elite, that is the author's whole issue with Taruskin’s viewpoint. Instead, to maintain his position, Taruskin has to believe that even if the art appears to counter the idealology of the rich, that's actually not the case (answer choice (C)).
