During the past few years, photojournalists have been gaining recognition as artists. However, since photojournalism is a way of recording important events, they must bear in mind the practical aspect of their craft. Because of this, photojournalism is not an art.

Which of the following statements, if true, would best support the conclusion above?

A Artists do not consider the monetary value of their work important.
B An object is not an object of art if the photographer pays attention to its practical use.
C Photojournalists should bear in mind the practical utility of their photos more than they currently do.
D Some photojournalists are more concerned than others with the practical utility of the photos they take.
E Some photos are taken for art exhibits, and are not used by the media.


OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



This is a supply the assumption question.

Identify the premises of the argument. The one premise is that since photojournalism is a way of recording important events, photojournalists must bear in mind the practical aspect of their craft.

Identify the conclusion. The conclusion is that photojournalism is not an art.

What is needed to make this argument convincing? We need to be told why photojournalism is not an art.

Eliminate answer choices that do not fill the gap here. The gap we are looking to fill is a link between the practical application of photojournalism and seeing it as art. Choices A and E are similar, and only deal with art. Choices C and D only deal with the practical aspect of photojournalism. Choice B is the best answer because it deals with the practical use of photojournalism and art, and gives an explanation as to why photojournalism may not be considered an art.
