All right Next question in this british art journal question

00:08

thinking here we go Which rhetorical strategy does the author

00:11

adopt in line seventeen through twenty three We desire to

00:19

find by what rules some art is called good and

00:22

other art bad We desire to fund in conditions of

00:25

character in the artist which are essentially connected with the

00:27

goodness of his work We desire to find what of

00:30

the methods of practice which formed this character or corrupted

00:34

and finally how the formation of corruption of this character

00:36

as sarah taxis and the same sound isn't repeated So

01:21

there's no obliteration either like getting rid of e And

01:24

dr seuss would have hated this passage so hard Yeah

01:28

no obliteration there So the answer is beats all about

01:30
