According to passage, art is characterised by which of the following? (i) It can never be bad (ii) It refines human sensibilities (iii) It preserves for later generation experience of previous generation

Verified Answer
A. (ii) only
B. (iii) only
C. (ii) & (iii) only
D. (i) only

Explanation:

The passage states, 'Art renders accessible to people of this latest generations all the feeling experienced by their predecessors & those already felt by their best and foremost contemporaries.' This supports both (ii) (by making feelings accessible, it refines sensibilities) and (iii) (it preserves the experience/feelings of previous generations). Statement (i) is contradicted by 'the worse the art' phrase.
