The method of reproducing paintings designed to restore the richness of a painting's orginal colors will result in reproductions that look less like the original painting looks now than those produced by older methods. To reproduction experts, a reproduction that looks less like the original painting looks now, regardless of its own aesthetic value, is an inferior reproduction. Reproduction experts are the only accepted evaluators of the quality of a reproduction.

If the statements above are true, which of the following conclusions could be most properly drawn?

(A)The best judges of the quality of the reproductions are the purchasers of such reproductions

(B)Reproduction experts over see the reproduction of paintings

(C)The highest quality reproductions are made close to the time of the original painting

(D)It is not currently possible for a reproduction to restore a painting's original color and be considered high-quality by the accepted evaluators

(E)The new method can be used to produce reproductions considered high-quality by everyone except reproduction experts

The OA is (D) but I picked (C) :(

Can someone explain to me why C isn't a good answer? Thanks.

(C)The highest quality reproductions are made close to the time of the original painting

There is no evidence in the passage to substantiate (C). Just because the "older" method of production is "better" doesn't make it the "best". And there is a possibility there is a third method out there that could be the "best". The passage only mentioned two. The rest cannot be inferred.

Remember, a trap in English language is that when you compare TWO things, one can be "better" than the other. But to be the "best", you have to have at least THREE things.
