While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: - Maika'i Tubbs is a Native Hawaiian sculptor and installation artist. - His work has been shown in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Germany, among other places. - Many of his sculptures feature discarded objects. - His work Erasure (2008) includes discarded audiocassette tapes and magnets. - His work Home Grown (2009) includes discarded pushpins, plastic plates and forks, and wood. The student wants to emphasize a similarity between the two works. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
AErasure (2008) uses discarded objects such as audiocassette tapes and magnets; Home Grown (2009), however, includes pushpins, plastic plates and forks, and wood.
BLike many of Tubbs's sculptures, both Erasure and Home Grown include discarded objects: Erasure uses audiocassette tapes, and Home Grown uses plastic forks.
CTubbs's work, which often features discarded objects, has been shown both within the United States and abroad.
DTubbs completed Erasure in 2008 and Home Grown in 2009.
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Like many of Tubbs's sculptures, both Erasure and Home Grown include discarded objects: Erasure uses audiocassette tapes, and Home Grown uses plastic forks.
Choice B is the best answer. 'Like many of Tubbs's sculptures' and 'both' emphasize the SIMILARITY of discarded-objects use across the two works. A uses 'however' to mark CONTRAST, the opposite goal. C and D do not name both works in similarity terms.
