E
As stated by G that submitted work by photographers, sculptors, and painters was equal(lets assume 10 submission for each field).
However more photographs(lets say 9/10) were exhibited than either sculptures(2/10) or paintings(3/10).
so it means there will be some criteria/condition between the work submission and the exhibition.
That criteria is mentioned by H as All submitted works that met the traditional criteria-and only those works-were exhibited in the show.
This fact clarify that 9 of 10 photographs met the traditional criteria but only 2 & 3 out of 10 from sculptures and paintings respectively met the traditional criteria .
so it clearly means that "More works that met the traditional criteria for the Metropolitan Art Show were submitted by photographers than by sculptors or painter".

Equal numbers of photographers, sculptors, and painters submitted works that met the traditional criteria for the show, yet more photographs were exhibited than either sculptures or paintings. As you know, each artist was allowed to submit work in one medium only.
H: How could there have been bias? All submitted works that met the traditional criteria-and only those works-were exhibited in the show.
16.If both G's assertions and H's assertion are true, which one of the following must also be true?
(A) More photographers than sculptors or painters submitted works to be considered for exhibition in the Metropolitan Art Show.
(B) All the works submitted for the Metropolitan Art Show met the traditional criteria for the show.
(C) The quality of photographs exhibited in the metropolitan Art Show was inferior to the quality of the sculptures or paintings exhibited.
(D) Some of the photographs submitted for the Metropolitan Art Show did not meet the traditional criteria for the show.
(E) More works that met the traditional criteria for the Metropolitan Art Show were submitted by photographers than by sculptors or painters.

Although I could guess the answer as E, I want to know if the level of daily questions is representative of the real GMAT?

How can the answer be E? The argument clearly states the "Equal numbers of photographers, sculptors, and painters submitted works that met the traditional criteria for the show". So it means there were equal number of all three who were meeting the criteria. Option E clearly refutes this statement.Kamal2014 wrote:OA is Edaretodream wrote:G: The group of works exhibited in this year's Metropolitan Art Show reveals a bias in favor of photographers.

IMO A should be the right answer, because even if all three met the criteria but more photodraphers wanted to their work to be considered for exhibition. Works of all three can meet the criteria but since more photographers wanted their work to be displayed, there were more number of photographs. This is in sync with both G and H's arguments. Anyone here can who does not agree with this explanation and why?
