Theo: Popular music is not supposed to reflect reality; it performs other artistic functions, such as providing consoling fantasies and helping people create some romance in their often difficult lives. You should understand popular music before you condemn it.
Speaker 1 Summary
Popular music is bad art. Why? Because it fails to represent reality accurately by greatly exaggerating the role love plays in everyday life.
Speaker 2 Summary
Popular music serves other artistic functions, it is not supposed to reflect reality. You should understand popular music before you criticize it.
Objective
We need a statement that Maria and Theo disagree on. They disagree whether art needs to represent reality accurately to be considered good art. Maria thinks popular music is bad art because it does not represent reality. Theo thinks an accurate representation is not required because popular music serves other artistic functions.
A
most good art creates consoling illusions
Neither speaker expresses an opinion on this statement. Both speakers limit their arguments to popular music. We don’t know what Maria or Theo believe about most good art.
B
some bad art exaggerates the role love plays in everyday life
Theo does not express an opinion on this statement. We don’t know from the stimulus what Theo thinks bad art does.
C
art should always represent reality as it could be, not as it is
Neither speaker expresses an opinion on this statement. We don’t know what Maria or Theo think art should always do.
D
art need not represent reality accurately to be good art
Maria and Theo disagree on this statement. Maria disagrees because she concludes popular music is bad art for the sole reason that it does not accurately represent reality. Theo would agree because popular music serves other artistic purposes.
E
popular music should not be considered to be an art form
Neither speaker expresses an opinion on this statement. Maria thinks that popular music is bad art, but that does not mean that she thinks popular music should not be considered art at all.
