This doesnβt capture the part of the passage about Beardenβs artistic techniques. So itβs too narrow to be the main point. Itβs also not clear that Bearden was βuniqueβ in portraying happier periods. His artwork was unique, but that doesnβt imply the specific aspect of portraying happier periods was unique.

The main point isnβt about Beardenβs expansion of painting techniques available to other artists. Itβs about Beardenβs own work and what it shows. (C) has the wrong emphasis.

Not supported, because weβre never told that other artists of Beardenβs time were interested mainly in sociological observation. Since (D) isnβt supported, it canβt be the main point.

Not supported, because the passage never suggests that Bearden is less well known for his chronicling of the African-American experience. Since (E) isnβt supported, it canβt be the main point.
