if da Volterra has stripped away all layers of paint before he painted, then there is no possibility to uncover Michelangelo's work if they strip away da volterra's work - it does not achieve their goal.

A)


nocilis, that was brilliant ! :wave

Chunjuwu, the reason for removing the addition to michaelangelo's work is to uncover the original work. Thus if de volterra has stripped away all layers of paint before he painted, then stripping away his work will not uncover michelangelo's work, and this defects the purpose of the removal.


HI, ywilfred
Do you mean if restorers remove de volterra's addition, these restorers will see nothing?
Right?


Hi Chunjuwu, it's not because they see nothing. The restorers removed addition with only one objective in mind:

- To uncover michelangelo's original paintings

we're told de volterra scraped away michelangelo's original painting before adding his own painting.
So if this is true, the restorers by removing de volterra's work will not achieve what they set out to acheive initially - to uncover michelangelo's original work.

So yes, in a way, becuase they see nothing, they do not achieve their aim. So A is the answer. :-D

My answer is A...if davolterra stripped away the paint underneath (i.e. he removed Michealangelo's painting to add his own), then removal of his work would mean that there would be a "hole" where davolterra's painting were so it makes sense to keep his work.

It's not so much a case of not making sense, but more a case of the primary objective not achieved. :-D

but that's why we're all here in the forum. To discuss our answers, learn new principles, and find out what's wrong with out logic. That way, we wouldn't pick the wrong answer on the test, yeah ? :-D

I would have picked 'C'. But I now understand why 'A'.
