Only one of those choices refers to temperature, sunlight, and humidity. Which one?
I thought you were dead Liz.. but 100%!
ngl same but thanks!
The correct answer is:
The Ultraviolet rays will damage the painting by fading and flaking the paint.
The curator's decision to display the eighteenth-century painting in a windowless room with controlled temperature and humidity is motivated by the need to protect the painting from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV rays can cause the paint pigment to fade over time and can cause the paint to flake off, resulting in permanent damage to the artwork. By placing the painting in a windowless room, the curator ensures that the painting is shielded from direct sunlight, which contains UV rays.
To arrive at this answer, it is important to understand that UV rays are known to harm paintings and other artwork. By displaying the painting in a room without windows, the curator is effectively minimizing the exposure to UV rays. The other options (such as comfort for visitors, saving money, or high temperature and humidity causing damage) do not address the specific concern of protecting the painting from UV rays. Therefore, they are not the primary reasons for the curator's choice in this case.
