Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 10: Answer and Explanation
Question: 10
Primarily, Boudin painted beach scenes on the shores of Brittany and Normandy. Alongside Monet, he was among the first of the impressionists to embrace painting en plein air, and he was also one of very few artists to show canvases in all eight of the Paris Impressionist exhibitions. But despite his proximity to the avant-garde, Boudin's work remained, for the most part, conspicuously marketable throughout his career.
The information in the selection gives the strongest evidence that which of the following labels applied towards Boudin would be most unjustified?
- A. Savvy businessman
- B. Starving artist
- C. Skillful impressionist
- D. Independent thinker
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
(B) The narrator asserts that Boudin's works were "conspicuously marketable," which means that consumers were willing to purchase them. Hence, it wouldn't make sense to refer to him as a starving artist since he was able to make money off his paintings. The other options would properly characterize Boudin in the eyes of the narrator.
