　　SECTION 3

　　Time - 30 minutes

　　25 Questions

　　1. The painter Peter Brandon never dated his works, and their chronology is only now beginning to take shape in the critical literature. A recent dating of a Brandon self-portrait to 1930 is surely wrong. Brandon was 63 years old in 1930, yet the painting shows a young, dark-haired man-obviously Brandon, but clearly not a man of 63.

　　Which of the following, if justifiably assumed, allows the conclusion to be properly drawn?

　　(A) There is no securely dated self-portrait of Brandon that he painted when he was significantly younger than 63.

　　(B) In refraining from dating his works, Brandon intended to steer critical discussion of them away from considerations of chronology.

　　(C) Until recently, there was very little critical literature on the works of Brandon.

　　(D) Brandon at age 63 would not have portrayed himself in a painting as he had looked when he was a young man.

　　(E) Brandon painted several self-portraits that showed him as a man past the age of 60.

　　2. Dance critic from Europe: The improved quality of ballet in the United States is the result of more Europeans' teaching ballet in the United States than ever before. I know the proportion of teachers who were born and trained in Europe has gone up among ballet teachers in the United States, because last year, on my trip to New York, more of the ballet teachers I met were from Europe-born and trained there -than ever before.

　　Which of the following identifies a questionable assumption made by the dance critic's reasoning?

　　(A) The argument overlooks the possibility that some ballet teachers in the United States could have been born in Europe but trained in the United States.

　　(B) The argument assumes that the ballet teachers whom the critic met last year on the critic's trip to New York were a generally typical group of such teachers.

　　(C) The argument assumes that the teaching of ballet in the United States is superior to the teaching of ballet in Europe

　　(D) Other possible reasons for the improved mental attitudes of United States dancers are not examined.

　　(E) The argument assumes that dancers born and trained in Europe are typically more talented than dancers born and trained in the United States.
