While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
<ul> <li>Frescoes are wall paintings made on freshly applied wet plaster.</li> <li>The pigments bind chemically with the plaster as it dries.</li> <li>Tempera paintings use pigments mixed with egg yolk or a similar binder, applied to dry surfaces.</li> <li>Frescoes are highly durable but cannot be retouched easily.</li> <li>Tempera dries quickly but allows finer detail and revisions.</li> </ul> The student wants to contrast the working properties of fresco and tempera. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?Which choice most effectively makes the student's point?
- A
Both fresco and tempera are traditional painting techniques.
- Bcheck_circle
While frescoes are very durable but resist retouching, tempera dries quickly while allowing finer detail and revisions.
- C
Tempera paintings are applied to dry surfaces.
- D
Frescoes are painted on wet plaster; tempera uses egg yolk.
Explanation
The goal is contrasting working properties. Choice C juxtaposes durability/retouching of fresco with detail/revisions of tempera. A is similarity, B contrasts surfaces, D describes one technique.
