However, the restorers have decided to make one exception: to leave intact additions that were painted by da Volterra. Stem:Which one of the following, if true, most helps to reconcile the restorers’ decision with the goal stated in the passage? Correct Answer Choice:AChoice A:The restorers believe that da Volterra stripped away all previous layers of paint before he painted his own additions to the Sistine Chapel.

Choice C:Da Volterra’s additions were painted in a style that was similar to the style used by Michelangelo. Choice D:Michelangelo is famous primarily for his sculptures and only secondarily for his paintings, whereas da Volterra is known exclusively for his paintings. Choice E:Da Volterra’s work is considered by certain art historians to be just as valuable as the work of some of the other artists who painted additions to Michelangelo’s work.
