Though the&lt;br \\\/&gt; individuals who creates these works thousands of years&lt;br \\\/&gt; ago were not, mentally or emotionally, so different from&lt;br \\\/&gt; ourselves, few of us are willing to do what is necessary&lt;br \\\/&gt; to understand the true beauty of ancient masterpieces.&lt;br \\\/&gt; But what, after all, is required of the viewer to&lt;br \\\/&gt; understand the beauty of art, beyond the capacity&lt;br \\\/&gt; to perceive it? Why should ancient art require more&lt;br \\\/&gt; effort to appreciate than contemporary works? The&lt;br \\\/&gt; answer, in a word, is context. In order to obtain any&lt;br \\\/&gt; sense of meaning in a work of art, we must interpret&lt;br \\\/&gt; its depictions using the cultural language of our time.&lt;br \\\/&gt; If we see a painting of a man in a business suit or a &lt;br \\\/&gt; hard hat, we have some idea of what his life is like&lt;br \\\/&gt; and can therefore understand the work emotionally.&lt;br \\\/&gt; Even abstract works are prone to the effects of cultural&lt;br \\\/&gt; context; our aesthetic sensibilities for features like shape&lt;br \\\/&gt; and color are shaped from birth by the colors and shapes&lt;br \\\/&gt; that appear in our environment.&lt;br \\\/&gt; For modern art, these examples might seem obvious,&lt;br \\\/&gt; even trivial. Virtually everyone possesses the necessary&lt;br \\\/&gt; contextual frame to understand the contemporary art of&lt;br \\\/&gt; their own particular culture. When viewing ancient art,&lt;br \\\/&gt; however, most of us fail to realize how very different&lt;br \\\/&gt; the artist\\u2019s life was from our own, and we end up seeing&lt;br \\\/&gt; through the wrong set of eyes. Take, for instance, a &lt;br \\\/&gt; very simple visual figure: the straight line. Though&lt;br \\\/&gt; common in today\\u2019s man-made world, straight-lines&lt;br \\\/&gt; are rare in nature, so their meaning would be much&lt;br \\\/&gt; different to, say, a cave painter, hose only common&lt;br \\\/&gt; experiences with them might be in tree trunks and the&lt;br \\\/&gt; flat line of the horizon. Color is another example. Our&lt;br \\\/&gt; immediate surroundings are literally saturated with&lt;br \\\/&gt; thousands of colors, but think about how different the&lt;br \\\/&gt; world of color would be to an artist in an ancient forest&lt;br \\\/&gt; and one in the desert. How very different must the&lt;br \\\/&gt; concept of \\u201cgreenness\\u201d be for each, one surrounded by&lt;br \\\/&gt; it constantly, the other viewing it only rarely. Consider&lt;br \\\/&gt; tales of certain Amazon tribes, raised in such thick&lt;br \\\/&gt; jungle that their visual world was at all times limited to&lt;br \\\/&gt; objects a few feet in front of them. When taken out onto&lt;br \\\/&gt; the plains and shown mountains for the first time, such&lt;br \\\/&gt; tribesmen became disoriented and could not understand&lt;br \\\/&gt; why they could not reach out and touch them. As&lt;br \\\/&gt; difficult as it may have been for them to appreciate&lt;br \\\/&gt; our visual world, it would be equally difficult for us to&lt;br \\\/&gt; appreciate theirs. &lt;br \\\/&gt; These differences obviously extend to more complex&lt;br \\\/&gt; visual forms, and, in some cases, we can only speculate&lt;br \\\/&gt; about the metaphorical meanings of the figures in&lt;br \\\/&gt; ancient artwork. We must always keep in mind that art&lt;br \\\/&gt; strives not only to depict, but also to evoke, and, as such,&lt;br \\\/&gt; our understanding is always limited by our knowledge&lt;br \\\/&gt; of the artist\\u2019s time and place.&lt;br \\\/&gt; &lt;br \\\/&gt; The passage can best be described as a discussion of&lt;br \\\/&gt; &lt;br \\\/&gt;\",\"answer_array\":\"a:5:{i:0;a:3:{i:0;s:80:\\\"(A) the differences between the treatment of artists in ancient and modern times\\\";i:1;d:0;i:2;i:0;}i:1;a:3:{i:0;s:72:\\\"(B) the ways in which art can affect the prevailing beliefs in a society\\\";i:1;d:0;i:2;i:0;}i:2;a:3:{i:0;s:78:\\\"(C) the influence of culture on one\\u2019s ability to appreciate the works of art\\\";i:1;d:0;i:2;i:1;}i:3;a:3:{i:0;s:83:\\\"(D) the various forms of expression that have been popular throughout the centuries\\\";i:1;d:0;i:2;i:0;}i:4;a:3:{i:0;s:76:\\\"(E) the contrast between the subject matters of ancient and contemporary art\\\";i:1;d:0;i:2;i:0;}}\",\"answer_one\":\"\",\"answer_one_points\":\"0\",\"answer_two\":\"\",\"answer_two_points\":\"0\",\"answer_three\":\"\",\"answer_three_points\":\"0\",\"answer_four\":\"\",\"answer_four_points\":\"0\",\"answer_five\":\"\",\"answer_five_points\":\"0\",\"answer_six\":\"\",\"answer_six_points\":\"0\",\"correct_answer\":\"0\",\"question_answer_info\":\"(A) the differences between the treatment of artists in ancient and modern times\\r\\n(B) the ways in which art can affect the prevailing beliefs in a society\\r\\n(C) the influence of culture on one\\u2019s ability to appreciate the works of art\\r\\n(D) the various forms of expression that have been popular throughout the centuries\\r\\n(E) the contrast between the subject matters of ancient and contemporary art\\r\\n--\\r\\nThe correct answer is (C).

Though the<br \/> individuals who creates these works thousands of years<br \/> ago were not, mentally or emotionally, so different from<br \/> ourselves, few of us are willing to do what is necessary<br \/> to understand the true beauty of ancient masterpieces.<br \/> But what, after all, is required of the viewer to<br \/> understand the beauty of art, beyond the capacity<br \/> to perceive it? Why should ancient art require more<br \/> effort to appreciate than contemporary works? The<br \/> answer, in a word, is context. In order to obtain any<br \/> sense of meaning in a work of art, we must interpret<br \/> its depictions using the cultural language of our time.<br \/> If we see a painting of a man in a business suit or a <br \/> hard hat, we have some idea of what his life is like<br \/> and can therefore understand the work emotionally.<br \/> Even abstract works are prone to the effects of cultural<br \/> context; our aesthetic sensibilities for features like shape<br \/> and color are shaped from birth by the colors and shapes<br \/> that appear in our environment.<br \/> For modern art, these examples might seem obvious,<br \/> even trivial. Virtually everyone possesses the necessary<br \/> contextual frame to understand the contemporary art of<br \/> their own particular culture. When viewing ancient art,<br \/> however, most of us fail to realize how very different<br \/> the artist\u2019s life was from our own, and we end up seeing<br \/> through the wrong set of eyes. Take, for instance, a <br \/> very simple visual figure: the straight line. Though<br \/> common in today\u2019s man-made world, straight-lines<br \/> are rare in nature, so their meaning would be much<br \/> different to, say, a cave painter, hose only common<br \/> experiences with them might be in tree trunks and the<br \/> flat line of the horizon. Color is another example. Our<br \/> immediate surroundings are literally saturated with<br \/> thousands of colors, but think about how different the<br \/> world of color would be to an artist in an ancient forest<br \/> and one in the desert. How very different must the<br \/> concept of \u201cgreenness\u201d be for each, one surrounded by<br \/> it constantly, the other viewing it only rarely. Consider<br \/> tales of certain Amazon tribes, raised in such thick<br \/> jungle that their visual world was at all times limited to<br \/> objects a few feet in front of them. When taken out onto<br \/> the plains and shown mountains for the first time, such<br \/> tribesmen became disoriented and could not understand<br \/> why they could not reach out and touch them. As<br \/> difficult as it may have been for them to appreciate<br \/> our visual world, it would be equally difficult for us to<br \/> appreciate theirs. <br \/> These differences obviously extend to more complex<br \/> visual forms, and, in some cases, we can only speculate<br \/> about the metaphorical meanings of the figures in<br \/> ancient artwork.

We must always keep in mind that art<br \/> strives not only to depict, but also to evoke, and, as such,<br \/> our understanding is always limited by our knowledge<br \/> of the artist\u2019s time and place.<br \/> <br \/> In the final paragraph (lines 51-57), the author\u2019s assumption is that<br \/> <br \/><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<fieldset>\n\t\t<legend><\/legend>\n\t<div class='qmn_radio_answers mlwRequiredRadio'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qmn_mc_answer_wrap  mrq_checkbox_class\" id=\"question177-1 \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type='radio' class='qmn_quiz_radio qmn-multiple-choice-input ' name=\"question177\" id=\"question177_1\" value=\"0\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<label class=\"qsm-input-label\" for=\"question177_1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t(A) art\u2019s ability to evoke feelings depends mainly on the viewer\u2019s understanding of cultural context\t\t\t\t\t<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qmn_mc_answer_wrap  mrq_checkbox_class\" id=\"question177-2 \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type='radio' class='qmn_quiz_radio qmn-multiple-choice-input ' name=\"question177\" id=\"question177_2\" value=\"1\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<label class=\"qsm-input-label\" for=\"question177_2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t(B) the feelings one experiences due to a work of art rely on empathizing with the artist\u2019s suffering\t\t\t\t\t<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qmn_mc_answer_wrap  mrq_checkbox_class\" id=\"question177-3 \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type='radio' class='qmn_quiz_radio qmn-multiple-choice-input ' name=\"question177\" id=\"question177_3\" value=\"2\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<label class=\"qsm-input-label\" for=\"question177_3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t(C) each era will experience the same work of art in wildly different ways\t\t\t\t\t<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qmn_mc_answer_wrap  mrq_checkbox_class\" id=\"question177-4 \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type='radio' class='qmn_quiz_radio qmn-multiple-choice-input ' name=\"question177\" id=\"question177_4\" value=\"3\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<label class=\"qsm-input-label\" for=\"question177_4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t(D) accurately depicting the subject matter has nothing to do with artwork\u2019s aesthetic value\t\t\t\t\t<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qmn_mc_answer_wrap  mrq_checkbox_class\" id=\"question177-5 \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type='radio' class='qmn_quiz_radio qmn-multiple-choice-input ' name=\"question177\" id=\"question177_5\" value=\"4\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<label class=\"qsm-input-label\" for=\"question177_5\">\n\t\t\t\t\t(E) most people tend to concentrate on the historical, rather than the technical, merits of ancient art\t\t\t\t\t<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<label style=\"display: none !important;\" for=\"question177_none\">None<\/label>\n\t\t\t<input type=\"radio\" style=\"display: none;\" name=\"question177\" id=\"question177_none\" checked=\"checked\" value=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/fieldset>\n\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"answer_limit_keys_177\" value=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .quiz_section -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .qsm-auto-page-row -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"qmn_question_list\" value=\"172Q173Q174Q175Q176Q177Q\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<br \/>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qsm-auto-page-row quiz_section quiz_end qsm-d-none\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='mlw_qmn_message_end'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>You have answered all the questions in the quiz.
