<p>can some1 explain bluebook page529 question number 24??(critical reading..)</p>
<p>thanks...</p>
<p>throughout the passage, the author establishes a distinction between enjoying a work of art for its "human content" and "aesthetic enjoyment." this distinction is alluded to in the reading for questions 18 and 21.</p>
<p>the final paragraph says that "preoccupation with the human content . . . is . . . incompatible with artistic enjoyment . . .". this matches up with choice (a), which says that "aesthetic pleasure" (in other words, non-human-related pleasure) "is a response to the purely artistic elements in a work of art."</p>
<p>(b) can't be right because there's no mention of the difference between "intentions" and "accopmlishments."</p>
<p>(c) can't be right because the passage doesn't say responses can't be defined--in fact, the whole passage is about defining two different types of responses.</p>
<p>(d) can't be right because the passage doesn't mention "moral conventions"</p>
<p>(e) can't be right because the passage says the majority of people will focus on "human content," not "artistic technique."</p>
