Option A states that socially existing beings, unlike the art of Michelangelo or Leonardo, cannot be analyzed. However, the passage indicates that even for Michelangelo and Leonardo, no amount of social analysis is deemed sufficient because of their vast artistic contributions. Moreover, the passage implies that while social analysis may fall short for such towering figures, it could still be applied to other beings who don't possess their exceptional genius.
Option B states that Michelangelo or Leonardo cannot be subjected to social analysis due to their genius. However, this is inaccurate, as the passage doesn't assert that they cannot be analyzed socially but rather suggests that no amount of analysis does justice to their brilliance.
Option C states that there are no analyses of Michelangelo's or Leonardo's social accounts. Yet, the passage doesn't address this aspect, so this option is not relevant to the discussion.
So, the correct answer is (D): Social analytical accounts of people like Michelangelo or Leonardo cannot explain their genius.
Option A states: "Sight as a meaningful visual experience is possible when there is a foundational condition established in images of covenants." This option distorts the original statement by suggesting that meaningful visual experience is only possible when images are associated with covenants. However, the original statement does not limit meaningful visual experiences to this specific condition.
Option B states: "Images are meaningful visual experiences when they have a foundation of covenants seeing them." This option misinterprets the original statement, which emphasizes that sight becomes a meaningful visual experience when images are associated with covenants. There is no discussion about the meaningfulness of images themselves.
Option C accurately encapsulates the key points without misinterpretation. Therefore, it is the correct answer.
Option D state: "The way we experience sight is through images operated on by meaningful covenants." This option strays from the context of the original statement, which focuses on meaningful visual experiences rather than meaningful covenants
So, the correct answer is (C): Sight becomes a meaningful visual experience because of covenants of meaningfulness that we establish with the images we see.
This question is straightforward and relies on facts. Please read the passage attentively. Imagery can be deduced from the second paragraph, and subsequent paragraphs provide information about Visual Practices, Lifeworlds, and Structures of Perception, as mentioned in the penultimate paragraph.
So, the correct answer is (C): Imagery, Visual Practices, Lifeworlds, Structures of Perception.
Option A claims that "studying visual culture requires institutional structures without which the structures of perception cannot be analyzed." However, upon reviewing the penultimate paragraph of the question, it states that "Vision is a socially and a biologically constructed operation, depending on the design of the human body and how it engages the interpretive devices developed by a culture in order to see intelligibly." This indicates that studying visual culture relies on both the design of the human body and the interpretative devices developed by the culture. There is no mention of the necessity of institutional structures for analyzing vision. Therefore, this inference is incorrect. The remaining three options are accurate.
So, the correct answer is (A): studying visual culture requires institutional structures without which the structures of perception cannot be analysed.
This is a vocab question. The term "epiphenomena" refers to "a secondary effect or byproduct." The option "Phenomena supplemental to the evidence" closely matches this definition, making it the correct answer.
So, the correct answer is (C): Phenomena supplemental to the evidence.
“Why do they pull down and do away with crooked streets, I wonder, which are my delight, and hurt no man living? Every day the wealthier nations are pulling down one or another in their capitals and their great towns: they do not know why they do it; neither do I. It ought to be enough, surely, to drive the great broad ways which commerce needs and which are the life-channels of a modern city, without destroying all history and all the humanity in between: the islands of the past.” (From Hilaire Belloc’s “The Crooked Streets”)
