Question

1. in her essay, sara said that the works of picasso were brilliant and ground breaking. evan disliked almost all of picassos works. what would be the best way for evan to start a discussion about picasso with sara?

explain why he prefers the works of painters like monet and manet.
find a book about picasso and read it before talking to sara.
ask sara to explain what she likes about picassos works.
talk about picassos politics rather than his artwork.

Explanation:

To start a productive discussion about Picasso with Sara (who thinks his works are brilliant), Evan should focus on Sara's perspective. Asking Sara to explain what she likes about Picasso’s works allows Evan to understand her viewpoint, which is a good foundation for a discussion, especially since Evan dislikes most of Picasso’s works. The other options either shift focus away from Picasso’s art (talking about other painters, politics) or are less direct in engaging with Sara’s opinion (reading a book first).

Answer:

C. Ask Sara to explain what she likes about Picasso's works.
