There is no mystery as to why figurative painting revived in the late 1970s. People want to look at recognizable images. Sorting out art theories reflected in abstract paintings is no substitute for the sense of empathy that comes from looking at a realistic painting of a figure in a landscape. Perhaps members of the art felt that its lack of realistic subject matter was a rejection of the viewers and their world.
Which one of the following most accurately expresses the main point of the passage?
(A) Abstract paintings often include or forms that are suggestive of real objects or emotions.
(B) The art-viewing public wished to see traditional subjects treated in a non-traditional manner.
(C) Paintings that depict a recognizable physical world rather than the emotional world of the artist's life require more artistic talent to create.
(D) The general public is unable to understand the theories on which abstract painting is based.
(E) The artistic preferences of the art-viewing public stimulated the revival.

I think it should definitely be [spoiler](E)[/spoiler]. This one relates directly to the main point where as others are in and around the main passage but do not correctly summarize it.

You can, for example never foretell what any one man will do, but you can say with precision what an average number will be up to!
