one All right which of the falling Does the author
- 00:18
not assert or imply in paragraph three And here are
- 00:22
potential answers There we go No and we're going to
- 00:24
get paragraph three here pretty quick All right Does the
- 00:26
author researcher imply that aesthetic order in the past has
- 00:30
carried over to the present Well the author discusses order
- 00:33
in the sixth line of paragraph three For there is
- 00:35
a certain order or rhythm belonging to each of these
- 00:38
classes of min medic representation from which the hearer and
- 00:43
the spectator receive an intense er and pure pleasure than
- 00:47
from any other The sense of an approximation to this
- 00:49
order has been called taste by modern writers All right
- 00:52
Well by telling us what modern writers call this concept
- 00:55
we can assume that concept has been around for a
- 00:57
while So the authors implying that aesthetic order in the
- 01:00
past has carried over to the present but also a
- 01:02
is not our answer Does the author assert or imply
- 01:05
that the rhythms of dance music and language mimic nature
- 01:08
Well the author makes this assertion pretty plainly in the
- 01:11
first lines of paragraph three in the youth of the
- 01:13
world men dance and sing and imitate natural objects observing
- 01:17
in these actions as in all others a certain rhythm
- 01:19
or order well the youth of the world imitating nature
- 01:22
through art may not be as obvious is dancing babies
- 01:25
raining from the sky but we have a pretty strong
- 01:27
message here So be is not our answer Does the
- 01:29
author imply that order and rhythm differ according to the
- 01:32
art that expresses them Well again if we can decipher
- 01:35
the outdated english we find this answer pretty clearly stated
- 01:37
in the text And although all men observe a similar
- 01:40
they observed not the same order in the motions of
- 01:42
dance in the melody of song in the combinations of
- 01:45
language in the series of their limitations of natural objects
- 01:49
For there is a certain order or rhythm belonging to
- 01:52
each of these classes of mma medic representation Well while
- 01:55
no medic representation may sound like something related to the
- 01:58
practice of mining It actually refers to an imitation of
- 02:01
the real world and art which probably includes mining way
- 02:04
Suppose this quote not only provides further proof for our
- 02:07
art mimics nature answer But it tells us that each
- 02:09
form of nomadic representation has a different order and rhythm
- 02:12
which also tells us that sea is not the correct
- 02:14
answer Alright let's look att eat because the author assert
- 02:17
or implied that art gives pleasure conforms to an intrinsic
- 02:21
order This may be a bold statement It may disappoint
- 02:23
picasso but again we can find it right in the
- 02:25
text If we finish the last sense we looked at
- 02:28
we can see the author answers this question as well
- 02:30
For there is a certain order or rhythm belonging to
- 02:33
each of these classes of nomadic representation from which the
- 02:36
hearer and the spectator receive an intensive and pure pleasure
- 02:39
than from any other Well this is a pretty unequivocal
- 02:42
assertion The author definitely believes hearers and spectators get more
- 02:47
pleasure from ordered art than from a gn ordered art
- 02:51
Sorry picasso All right let's Get e out of our
- 02:53
lives Once again we're left with one option So let's
- 02:55
helps a good one Does the other sort of implied
- 02:58
that refined taste is essential to appreciating artistic expression Well
- 03:02
while a refined taste might be necessary to appreciate escargot
- 03:05
it is not essential to appreciating artistic expression at least
- 03:09
according to our author He mentions taste but never says
- 03:12
you need it in order to enjoy art So our
- 03:14
answer is d another literary mystery solved philosophizing that
