<p>In line 41, the metaphor describing "folly" suggests that paintings can
A.) lose their aura when seen too often in familiar surroundings
B.) reinforce misleading recollections of childhood places
C.) arouse strong emotions in their owners
D.) provoke artists to make premature decisions
E.) bring back painful memories of what they depict</p>
<p>" I should have found a way to keep it. I grieved for it and wished I could buy it back, marry it again after the folly of a divorce. But it was too late"</p>
<p>Well i picked C just from that sentence. If you want me to give a more thorough answer of why the other options are not correct, give me the surrounding details of that sentence.</p>
<p>Again, resist the urge to overthink. Keep it simple and look for DIRECT clues. You need the surrounding text only if you cannot see the answer.</p>
<p>In this case: </p>
<p>" I should have found a way to keep it. I grieved for it and wished I could buy it back, marry it again after the folly of a divorce. But it was too late" </p>
<p>Clues: I = owner of painting and grieved = emotions and divorce = usually painful</p>
<p>The choices </p>
<p>A.) lose their aura when seen too often in familiar surroundings - No mention in text
B.) reinforce misleading recollections of childhood places - childhood never mentioned
C.) arouse strong emotions in their owners - owner and emotion = BINGO
D.) provoke artists to make premature decisions - artists and not owner
E.) bring back painful memories of what they depict - no mention of what painting depicts</p>
<p>Remember that the correct answer contains the information, but NOTHING more and NOTHING less. The incorrect answers introduce superfluous information or irrelevant information, or even information that is in contradiction to text.</p>
