Question

Many of the concepts of modern art have been the product of:

• A. Ideas generated from planned deliberations between artists, painters and thinkers.
• B. The dissemination of ideas through the state and its organizations.
• C. Accidental interactions among people blessed with creative muse.
• D. Patronage by the rich and powerful that supported art.
• E. Systematic investigation, codification and conventions.

Hint:

Look for phrases in the passage that indicate spontaneity or chance — they point toward "accidental" rather than deliberate or systematic creation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The passage states that many modern art concepts resulted from "almost accidental meetings of groups of talented individuals at certain times and certain places." These chance encounters led to new artistic ideas and movements, rather than planned or systematic efforts. Hence, (3) best reflects this origin.
