Zorluk: OrtaSelect-in-Passage Question Analysis

Read the passage below:

[1] For decades, art historians attributed the anonymous architectural sketches of the Hague Municipal Archive to the circle of Jacob van Campen based on stylistic affinities in draughtsmanship. [2] However, recent beta-radiographical examinations of the laid paper's watermarks have challenged this long-held attribution by revealing a paper maker's mark that was not produced prior to 1665. [3] Because Van Campen's influence in The Hague waned significantly after his death in 1657, scholars had previously assumed these drawings were executed during his peak productivity in the 1640s. [4] The physical evidence instead demonstrates that the sketches were created during a later period of civic renovation, thereby undermining the stylistic argument for Van Campen's direct oversight. [5] Consequently, curators must now re-examine the role of lesser-known local master builders who directed municipal projects in the late seventeenth century.

Select the sentence in the passage that introduces empirical physical evidence that refutes the traditional chronological assumption regarding when the drawings were produced.

Cevap: However, recent beta-radiographical examinations of the laid paper's watermarks have challenged this long-held attribution by revealing a paper maker's mark that was not produced prior to 1665. / Sentence 2 / [2] / recent beta-radiographical examinations of the laid paper's watermarks have challenged this long-held attribution by revealing a paper maker's mark that was not produced prior to 1665.

Cevap

Sentence 2 ("However, recent beta-radiographical examinations of the laid paper's watermarks have challenged this long-held attribution by revealing a paper maker's mark that was not produced prior to 1665.")
Sentence 2 is correct because it explicitly introduces the empirical physical finding—the beta-radiographical examination of watermarks revealing a post-1665 paper mark—that refutes the assumption that the drawings originated during Van Campen's lifetime in the 1640s.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the prompt's key requirement.
The target sentence must introduce empirical physical evidence that contradicts/refutes the assumption about when the sketches were created.
Select-in-Passage questions require locating the exact sentence serving a specific rhetorical purpose.
2
Scan the passage for mention of empirical physical evidence and chronological claims.
Sentence 1 outlines the traditional attribution. Sentence 2 introduces beta-radiographical examination of paper watermarks showing the paper post-dates 1665. Sentence 3 describes the old chronological assumption (1640s). Sentence 4 summarizes the implication of the evidence, and Sentence 5 provides the broader conclusion.
Sentence 2 specifically presents the newly discovered physical artifact (the watermark mark dated post-1665) that disproves the earlier date.
3
Confirm that Sentence 2 fulfills all criteria of the stem.
Sentence 2 introduces the specific physical evidence (beta-radiographical watermark analysis) that directly undermines the claim that the drawings were produced during Van Campen's lifetime.
Sentence 2 is the exact point of introduction for this empirical physical finding.
