DISCUSSION: Lines 8-11 describe a grey zone of techniques that don’t produce original art but don’t produce fakes either.
All the wrong answers take techniques from this grey zone.
(Lines 8-11 use complicated words that can make the wrong answers slightly hard to identify.)
Meanwhile, forgery is defined in the first sentence: art intended to deceive (lines 1-2).
___________
- Line 10 mentions this as being in a grey zone. “Pedagogical” means teaching, i.e. lessons from a mentor.
- Same as A. Line 10 mentions that copying for a pedagogical (“learning”) purpose is in a grey zone.
- CORRECT. The very first sentence of the passage says this.
- This describes a “commercial facsimile” (line 11). Facsimile means copy.
- Line 10. This describes a “deliberate anachronism”. To create an anachronism is to reproduce something that is too old for the era.
So a pocket-watch or a copy of the Mona Lisa is an anachronism: both belong to earlier eras.
