The purpose of a general theory of art is to explain every aesthetic feature found in any form of art. Every premodern general theory of art fails to explain some aesthetic feature of music. Premodern general theories of art focus primarily on painting and sculpture.

If music is art, then no premodern general theory of art achieves its purpose.

This answer is unsupported. We know from the stimulus that premodern general theories of art primarily focus on painting and sculpture, but we don’t know if the same is true for any general theory of art.

This answer is unsupported. The necessary condition for a general theory of art to achieve its purpose is for the theory to explain every aesthetic feature found in any art form. Only explaining every aesthetic feature of music is too narrow.

This answer is unsupported. The stimulus is limited to general theories of art and premodern general theories of art. “Any theory of art” is too strong.

This answer is strongly supported. If we were to (safely) assume that music is an art form, then premodern general theories of art fail to achieve their purpose outlined in the first sentence.

This answer is unsupported. We don’t know from the stimulus if there are any aesthetic features that music, painting, and sculpture do not share.
