Craft and Structure practice question

Text 1 Phones out, flashes firing, visitors backing into each other for the perfect shot — the galleries have become photo studios. A simple no-photography rule would return attention to the art itself. Text 2 Every shared snapshot of a gallery wall is an invitation someone's friends will see. Museums that ban photography are turning away their most persuasive, least expensive advertising.

Which choice best describes the relationship between the texts?

  1. A. The texts disagree about whether visitors should photograph the paintings.Correct
  2. B. Both texts want the museum to raise its ticket price.
  3. C. Text 1 describes the museum's history, and Text 2 describes its future.
  4. D. Both texts agree the galleries are too crowded.

Answer: A. The texts disagree about whether visitors should photograph the paintings.

Text 1 wants photography banned as a distraction; Text 2 defends it as free publicity — a direct disagreement over the policy.

Why the other answers are wrong

B. Both texts want the museum to raise its ticket price.
Ticket prices appear in neither text.
C. Text 1 describes the museum's history, and Text 2 describes its future.
Neither text is about history or future plans; both argue about photos.
D. Both texts agree the galleries are too crowded.
Only Text 1 mentions crowding, and the dispute is about photography.
