Question #N1393

The author states that the "art of the photograph" is often overlooked due to its association with "simplicity" and "ease." This, the author suggests, is a mistake. The author argues that the photograph's simplicity and ease are actually the result of "skill and subtlety" rather than a lack of effort. The author concludes that "the art of the photograph" is more complex and challenging than the viewer might initially believe.

Which choice best reflects the author’s main idea?
A. The art of the photograph can be appreciated by anyone who knows how to look.
B. The art of the photograph is often overlooked because it appears simple.
C. The art of the photograph is a complex and challenging process.
D. The art of the photograph is only appreciated by those who understand its history.

Correct Answer is: C

The author argues that the photograph is more complex and challenging than it initially appears, due to the skill and subtlety involved in its creation.
