Explanation:

To determine which quote supports the idea that the artist himself replaced the sculpture's face, we analyze each option:

• The first quote describes a person's appearance and clothing, not related to the sculpture's face replacement.
• The second quote mentions a man (likely the artist) wearing the same jumpsuit and scowl as earlier, suggesting continuity and a connection to the sculpture (implying he worked on it, including replacing the face).
• The third quote is about the class boarding the bus, irrelevant to the sculpture.
• The fourth quote is about meeting the artist and seeing the new face but doesn't directly show the artist replacing it.

So the second quote provides the best support.

Answer:

There was the man, gazing at a trash can, deep in thought, wearing the same blue jumpsuit and the same scowl as earlier.
