Question ID:PT28 S3 Q24 Passage:Surviving seventeenth-century Dutch landscapes attributed to major artists now equal in number those attributed to minor ones.  But since in the seventeenth century many prolific minor artists made a living supplying the voracious market for Dutch landscapes, while only a handful of major artists painted in the genre, many attributions of seventeenth-century Dutch landscape paintings to major artists are undoubtedly erroneous. Stem:Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument? Correct Answer Choice:DChoice A:Technically gifted seventeenth-century Dutch landscape artists developed recognizable styles that were difficult to imitate. Choice B:In the workshops of major seventeenth-century artists, assistants were employed to prepare the paints, brushes, and other materials that the major artists then used. Choice C:In the eighteenth century, landscapes by minor seventeenth-century artists were often simply thrown away or else destroyed through improper storage. Choice D:Seventeenth-century art dealers paid minor artists extra money to leave their landscapes unsigned so that the dealers could add phony signatures and pass such works off as valuable paintings. Choice E:More seventeenth-century Dutch landscapes were painted than have actually survived, and that is true of those executed by minor artists as well as of those executed by major artists.
