depicted general scenes ██ ██████ ████████ ███ █████ █████████
This is supported as a description of typical protest painting, because Bearden “moved beyond” protest painting by showing individual suffering. This indicates that typical protest painting showed more general suffering, not individual suffering.
portrayed solitary figures ██ ████████ ████████████
The author tells us that Bearden “moved beyond” protest painting to show instances of individual suffering. This suggests that the typical protest painting did not show instances of individual suffering, but rather, more general examples of suffering. We have no reason to think typical protest painting involved solitary figures in abstract surroundings.

The author tells us that Bearden “moved beyond” protest painting to show instances of individual suffering. This suggests that the typical protest painting did not show instances of individual suffering, but rather, more general examples of suffering. We have no reason to think the typical protest painting challenged traditional techniques.

The author tells us that Bearden “moved beyond” protest painting to show instances of individual suffering. This suggests that the typical protest painting did not show instances of individual suffering, but rather, more general examples of suffering. (D) doesn’t fit as a description of protest paintings because Bearden’s own work also emphasized experiences of African American during the Great Depression. But his work wasn’t the typical protest painting.

The author tells us that Bearden “moved beyond” protest painting to show instances of individual suffering. This suggests that the typical protest painting did not show instances of individual suffering, but rather, more general examples of suffering. We have no reason to think typical protest paintings involved showing effects on individuals.
