I think it is C. I also think it might be B
Do you really think that American colonists lacked artistic ability? Why?
no so wouldn't that make the answer B
Right!
so the answer is B but why can't it be E
Kyle -- many of your questions are frustrating because they're so poorly written. Are these questions from a public school high school class? Or are they from an online class? Which ever it is, you need to complain. Your education is being damaged by these questions.
You're right! Both B and E are not reasons why the colonies didn't have a strong artistic effort.
To determine the correct answer, let's break down each option and evaluate them one by one:
a. There was no strong aesthetic tradition there - This could be a valid reason why artistic efforts were slow to develop in colonies. If there wasn't an established artistic culture or tradition in the colonies, it would have been challenging for artistic endeavors to flourish.
b. American colonists lacked artistic ability - This could also be a valid reason. If the colonists themselves lacked artistic ability or interest in pursuing artistic endeavors, it would have been a significant hindrance to the development of art in the colonies.
c. Wealth and leisure were slow to develop, and as they did, religion and politics received priority - This statement suggests that as wealth and leisure slowly developed in the colonies, religion and politics took precedence over artistic pursuits. If this were the case, it could be a reason why artistic efforts were slow to develop. However, we are looking for the exception, not the reason that contributed to the slow development of art.
d. Colonists lacked the money to strongly support the arts - This could also be a valid reason. If the colonists did not have the financial means to support the arts, it would have impeded the growth and progress of artistic endeavors.
e. Training had to be completed in England - This statement suggests that aspiring artists had to travel to England to receive training. This could be a significant obstacle to the development of art in the colonies, as it required additional time, resources, and access to education.
To identify the correct answer, we need to find the option that is NOT a valid reason for the slow development of artistic efforts in colonies. Based on the analysis, we can eliminate options a, b, d, and e as potential correct answers.
Therefore, the correct answer is c: Wealth and leisure were slow to develop, and as they did, religion and politics received priority. This option is an exception because it does not explain why artistic efforts were slow to develop but rather highlights the prioritization of religion and politics as wealth and leisure progressed.
So, in conclusion, option c is the correct answer.
