PrepTest 117 - Section 4 - Question 13

Show summary

Support Whether a machine performs its intended function is plain for all to see, but recognition of excellence in art requires a rare subtlety of perception. ██ ███████ █████████ ███████ ████████ █████ █████████ ████ █████ ████ ██ █████ ██████████ ███████ ████ ██ ██████ ███████ █████ ████ ██████████████

Summary

The argument concludes that, when their respective work is being evaluated, engineers are usually calm but artists are usually anxious. Why would this be? Because it’s easy to tell when a machine is working, but it’s difficult to tell when an artwork is excellent.

Notable Assumptions

The argument assumes that people become more anxious when their work requires subtle judgement to evaluate, compared to when it’s easy to evaluate. That’s the only way the premise about how easy machines and artworks are to evaluate can support the conclusion about engineers’ and artists’ anxiety levels.
