The Board of Trustees of the Federici Art Museum has decided to sell some works from its collection in order to raise the funds necessary to refurbish its galleries. Although this may seem like a drastic remedy, the curator had long maintained that among the paintings that the late Ms. Federici collected for the museum were several unsuccessful immature works by Renoir and Cezanne that should be sold because they are of inferior quality and so add nothing to the overall quality of the museum’s collection. Hence, the board’s action will not detract from the museum’s collection.
The conclusion drawn depends on which one of the following assumption?
(A) Art speculators are unable to distinguish an inferior painting by Renoir from a masterpiece by him.
(B) All of the paintings that the board of trustee sells will be among those that the curator recommends selling.
(C) All of the paintings by Renoir and Cezanne that are owned by the Federici Art Museum were purchased by Ms. Federici herself.
(D) Only an avid collector of paintings by Cezanne would be willing to pay a high price for early works by this artist.
(E) A great work of art can be truly appreciated only if it is displayed in a carefully designed and well-maintained gallery.

Understand:
- Board : sell some work TO raise funds
-author's POV : this may seem like a drastic remedy BUT...
curator : among paintings collected by F , several were faulty and useless.
conclusion : Board's action (Selling the painting) , will not detract ( deprive/take away- i did not know the meaning but guessed from context) from museum collection.
COnclusion : Museum will not loose much of great quality if it sells the work
Quote:
- ASSUMPTION
Think : Board is talking about selling some WORK . curator is talking about PAINTINGS.?? Do you see a pattern here?? classic -part to whole.
cocnlusion says museum will not loose anything of value! but what if paintings are not sold and something of value is ? or what if paintings and something of value is sold?? GAME OVER.
Quote:
- Art spectacular' judgement is irrelvant. Our motto is not loosing important work.
Quote:
- THIS ensures that the work and the paintings are actually the same.
Quote:
- Again who purchased is not imprtant . Remember the moto.
Quote:
-Who will purchase is irrelevant.
Quote:
- GENERL statement. Place for appreciation is out of scope.

Idea of 2 groups/personnel are being considered -
1. Board of Trustees of the Federici Art Museum - To sell some of the collection
2. Curator of the museum - Some paintings collected by F. were unsuccessful and needed to be sold.
So, for the plan to be successful ( Selling some art work & Selling those art collection having insignificant value to the museum) must concur, if one of the idea deviates then the plan will not be successful.
None but (B) aptly points out the same elegently, hence Answer must be (B)
