Question: 346

As used in line 1, "tend" most nearly means

• A. wait on.
• B. look over.
• C. move toward.
• D. be inclined.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

(D) The sentence is referring to what people might think about how to properly respond to questions about the nature of art. Since it refers to their opinions on these questions, "be inclined" would be the best fit. People are not waiting on, looking over, or moving toward thoughts on the essence of art.
