Unsupported. We’re not told whether landscape and portraiture lend themselves most to anything. Perhaps there are other kinds of representational painting that lend themselves even more to reflecting preexisting reality.

Unsupported. Choosing, modifying, and arranging the objects represented is one way that artists can exercise control, but we’re not told that it’s the only way.

Unsupported. The stimulus doesn’t say anything about nonrepresentational painting. (Landscape and portrait painting are representational.)

Strongly supported. The fact artists can choose/modify/arrange objects gives the artist more control over a still-life painting than other kinds of representational painting. This implies that in other kinds of repres. painting, the artist doesn’t always choose/modify/arrange.

Unsupported. We’re told that in still-life, the artist always chooses/modifies/arranges the objects to be painted. This still allows for the artist to choose/modify/arrange in portrait painting, as long as the artist does not always have the ability to do so.
