3- E
The philosopher Taine expressed the Impressionist view of things
4- A (but E is also good)
many surfaces on which light struck and was reflected with varying intensity to the eye through the atmosphere, which modified it (what? the intensity)
5- B (through process of elimination)

Sorry for the delay in response -

All the people who now follow the strategy of preparing notes for each of the paras, IMO, could exchange their notes - though this is a little time consuming, I believe that it will help people who are at the intial stage of prep.

Here is my notes for this RC:

P1--> Impressionists followed a new approach - different from the existing one - no interest in philosophy, but works have high degree of philosophy
P2--> contrast betwee Greek & impressionists
P3--> more on light
P4--> more on importance of light - again contrast with matter(greek)
P5--> All ideas except aesthetic ones are excluded from Impressionist works

P2 speaks about contrast bet. Greek(matter) and impressionists (light) - and Taine's statement summarizes the perspective that impressionists bought to the table. (as subsequent Paras elaborate on the contrast, I thought this would be the apt response) - hence D

4 Searched for where atmosphere was mentioned -
"The Impressionist world was composed not of separate objects but of many surfaces on which light struck and was reflected with varying intensity to the eye through the atmosphere, which modified it"

According to the above statement from P4, the atmosphere reflects light with varying intensity(as mentioned in option A), but that is more of a scientific fact, rather than what impressionists thought the atmosphere does. If you closely read the above stmt from the passage, I think it will be evident that impressionists had the view that atmosphere changes the way we perceive colors.

not sure why this option is A or why not A!
