Answer 1

Answers:

B. We read fables as children to learn moral lessons.

E.  Comedies and dramas are popular types of theater on Broadway

Option A cannot be used as evidence because abstract painting is modern, and not identified as a type of Greek art. Option C is evidence against the argument, because Greek art is famous for its realism. Option D cannot be used as evidence because it is a personal opinion on aesthetics.

Option B is good evidence for the argument because fables were a traditional Greek literary style (with Aesop being the most famous author). Option E is similarly good because comedies and dramas are popular types of theatre originated in Ancient Greece.
