Even those who believe that the art of each age and culture has its own standards of beauty must admit that some painters are simply superior to others in the execution of their artistic visions. But this superiority must be measured in light of the artist’s purposes, since the high merits, for example, of Jose Rey Toledo’s work and his extraordinary artistic skills are not in doubt, despite the fact that his paintings do not literally resemble what they represent.

Summarize Argument
The superiority of some painters to others in executing their artistic visions should be determined in light of the artists’ purposes. For example, Jose Rey Toledo has definitively extraordinary art even though his art is is not literally representative of its subjects.

Identify Argument Part
This is the claim that the conclusion tells us how to evaluate. The argument takes this as true and tells us how to measure superiority in the execution of their artistic visions: in light of their purposes.

A
It is a hypothesis that the argument attempts to refute.
The argument accepts this claim as true. It says that everyone “must admit” it.
B
It is a generalization, one sort of objection to which the argument illustrates by giving an example.
The argument does not illustrate an objection. It agrees with the claim and argues how to evaluate it.
C
It is a claim that, according to the argument, is to be understood in a manner specified by the conclusion.
The conclusion specifies that this claim should be understood in light of the artist’s purposes.
D
It is a claim that the argument derives from another claim and that it uses to support its conclusion.
This claim is part of the context that sets up the argument about measuring it. It neither gives nor receives support.
E
It is a generalization that the argument uses to justify the relevance of the specific example it cites.
This claim does not justify the relevance of the example, nor is it used as any sort of support. Instead, the example supports how we should measure this claim.
