Curator: Since ancient times, the fine arts were developed and sustained with the aid of large subsidies from the aristocracies and religious institutions that were the public sectors of their day; it is doubtful that the arts would have survived without these subsidies. Clearly, contemporary societies should fulfill their obligation as stewards of cultural heritage without the assistance of aristocracies or religious institutions, so governments must help finance the maintenance, advancement, and enrichment of the fine arts today.
The curator's argument depends on assuming which one of the following?
(A) The fine arts would be more highly developed now if they had been given greater governmental subsidies in the past.
(B) If contemporary governments help to maintain and enrich the fine arts, private support for the arts will become unnecessary.
(C) In contemporary societies, aristocracies and religious institutions are not willing to help finance the fine arts.
(D) Serving as stewards of cultural heritage requires that contemporary societies help to maintain the fine arts.
(E) Maintenance, advancement, and enrichment of the fine arts in any era require governmental subsidies.

Curator: Since ancient times, the fine arts were developed and sustained with the aid of large subsidies from the aristocracies and religious institutions that were the public sectors of their day; it is doubtful that the arts would have survived without these subsidies. Clearly, contemporary societies should fulfill their obligation as stewards of cultural heritage without the assistance of aristocracies or religious institutions, so governments must help finance the maintenance, advancement, and enrichment of the fine arts today.
The curator's argument depends on assuming which one of the following?
The curator argues that because the fine arts historically needed large public-sector-style support, modern governments should now help finance the fine arts. The missing link is that being a steward of cultural heritage requires supporting the fine arts, not merely preserving some other part of culture.
(A) The fine arts would be more highly developed now if they had been given greater governmental subsidies in the past.
This is not required. The argument is about what governments should do now, not whether past government subsidies would have improved the arts.
(B) If contemporary governments help to maintain and enrich the fine arts, private support for the arts will become unnecessary.
This is too strong. The argument says governments must help finance the arts, not that private support will be unnecessary.
(C) In contemporary societies, aristocracies and religious institutions are not willing to help finance the fine arts.
This is not required. Even if such groups are willing to help, the curator’s argument can still be that governments also have an obligation to help.
(D) Serving as stewards of cultural heritage requires that contemporary societies help to maintain the fine arts.
This is correct. If stewardship of cultural heritage did not require maintaining the fine arts, then the curator’s appeal to cultural heritage would not support the conclusion that governments should finance the fine arts.
(E) Maintenance, advancement, and enrichment of the fine arts in any era require governmental subsidies.
This is too broad. The argument does not need to claim that government subsidies are required in every era; it only needs the claim that modern governments have a role in supporting the arts today.
