In recent years many cabinetmakers have been winning acclaim as artists. But since furniture must be useful, cabinetmakers must exercise their craft with an eye to the practical utility of their product. For this reason, cabinetmaking is not art.
Which of the following is an assumption that supports drawing the conclusion above from the reason given for that conclusion?
A. Some furniture is made to be placed in museums, where it will not be used by anyone.
B. Some cabinetmakers are more concerned than others with the practical utility of the products they produce.
C. Cabinetmakers should be more concerned with the practical utility of their products than they currently are.
D. An object is not an art object if its maker pays attention to the objects practical utility.
E. Artists are not concerned with the monetary value of their products.

Since furniture must be useful they should keep practical utility in mind; as if they are not currently doing so and the author is saying they should. We do not know what is being made currently and hence A confirms to us that cabinets made currently are made for art and hence choice A is good. What is wrong with this?
And how is correct ans correct then? We are told that CMs are currently acclaimed as artists and hence there should be no need to assume that they are not artists if they think about utility- because when they think about utility they are not artists and otherwise they are. The stimulus presents this info clearly so why do we need to assume this. Veritas egmat ManhattanPrep
