DISCUSSION: There’s no way to prephrase the question. Instead, go through all the answers quickly, then focus more narrowly on those that seem plausible. Check your answer against the passage if possible.
I say to go through all the answers first because often D or E will be obviously right. You don’t want to waste 20-30 seconds on A, B or C without looking at all the answers first.
___________
- We have no idea. The author didn’t talk about Victorian photography in general or whether other photographers documented real life.
- We have no idea. The author just tells us about Cameron, not photographers in general.
- Nonsense. The passage didn’t even mention publicity stills of actors.
(The author did mention photographs of actors on lines 40-42. But we don’t know if these were publicity stills, and the passage doesn’t say if it’s referring to Victorian photos of actors.) - We have no idea why Cameron used amateurs. Professional models may or may not have existed.
- CORRECT. Line 31 supports this: “trying desperately hard to sit still”. In modern pictures we don’t have to try desperately hard. Photos can often be taken quite quickly, and even when we’re in motion.
