Art is a visual way for some people to reflect upon what is going on i

Hello, kntombat. I considered the same two answers before settling on (E). Why? It has to do with expressed meaning. Consider each sentence:



Choice (C) holds a visual way as a like entity to another way. If we think of the latter as something other than a visual way, we run into a problem:

Art is a visual way for some people to reflect upon [something], while allowing a non-visual way to see how people perceive their natural world.

Granted, a non-visual way is one interpretation of another way, but I think you will agree that it places the description to see in an awkward position, not to mention that the latter part of the sentence could be addressing us or an understood you directly. Even though to see is synonymous with to understand, the sentence is not immediately clear in its usage of another way to see. That takes some sorting out. Meanwhile, choice (E) holds some people parallel to others, or other people. And this comparison makes more sense: some people believe that art offers insight into the goings on of their cultural and natural environment, while others focus more on the artists and how those creators perceive their natural world. Unlike the earlier sentence that seemed to break the fourth wall and speak to us, the readers, this latter option keeps matters simpler by comparing some people to other people. Choice (E) is harder to argue against, which is why I chose it in the end.

I hope that helps. Thank you for thinking to ask me.
