In the part following “since,” the frst sentence of the paragraph suggests that the subject matter of portraits might not seem to ft with the idea of “high art.” So the suggestion is that the presence of portrait paintings in art museums is in that sense odd or unftting. Of the choices available for Blank (i), “surprising” is the one that expresses this sense. The second sentence, in contrast to the frst, offers a point in favor of portraits—“artistic skill.” So the second sentence is offering a reason why portraits should be in art museums. Of the choices for Blank (ii), “justifes” is the one that completes that thought.
Thus the correct answer is surprising (Choice A) and justifes (Choice E).
