Select the correct answer.
Paul is working on a research paper about the beginning of pop art, a modern-art movement, in the mid-1950s. Paul knows that pop art began in England and became prominent in America in the 1960s. Pop artists used images from popular culture, such as advertisements and news, in their works. Even though Paul has background information about the art movement, he wants to learn more about how pop art began.

Which one of the following would be the most credible source for Paul's paper?
A.
an interview with a frequent visitor at a museum that has a pop art exhibit
B.
a dated letter written by a famous pop artist explaining his latest artwork
C.
a Web site with a collection of reviews about the different types of modern art
D.
a documentary about artistic movements in America from the colonial era to the present
E.
an article written by the director of the pop art exhibit at a prestigious museum

Respuesta :

Answer: D. a documentary about artistic movements in America from the colonial era to the present

Explanation:

First, lets limit our choices: Its not A because and interview with a frequent visitor isnt a credible source.

Its not B because the letter is written about his latest artwork, which doesnt fall into what we are looking for.

Its not C because its a collection of reviews, which isnt credible.

Its not A because its written by a director who probably doesnt know much about pop art history.

Answer:

Option D. The answer should be a documentary about artistic movements in America from the colonial era to the present as it may serve as a credible source of information for Paul.

Explanation:

It may provide him with details about when the pop art movement began and other facts related to it. It may also provide him knowledge about other associated arts and give him evidence enough to put forth his point. The only fact he should verify is whether the documentary has been made by an authentic person/organization.
