#18 - Must be True, Author's Perspective

[emilysnoddon]

Hello,

For this question, I was debating between answer choice D and answer choice E. I decided to go with answer choice E because I felt as though, because the author mentioned the value of scientific thinking in the arts, this must be correct. Is this answer incorrect because he does not mention anything about the value of aesthetic approaches to scientific inquiry? Further more can you please point me to the test to sections that support answer choice D.

Thank you.

Hello Emily,

"The Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988) was an artist who intuitively asked--and responded to--deeply original questions. He . . . became an artist who repeatedly veered off at wide angles from the well-known courses followed by conventionally talented artists . . . Noguchi remained faithful to his inquisitive nature[, and] proceeded to the next phase of his evolution." helps support answer D. Answer E is off-topic, since we're not really discussing science here, on the whole.

Hope this helps,
David
