According to a new sociological theory, artists and musicians excel in their chosen field of endeavor only if they are naturally gifted or extremely diligent about practicing. In order to have time to be materially successful in one's professional life, the author of the theory claims, one must not undertake a creative pursuit unless one is naturally gifted at it. This injunction makes many assumptions, but does not presuppose that ___________________.

Which of the following best completes the passage?
1) professional who spend a great deal of time practicing their creative pursuit will not earn much money
2) only people who are naturally creatively gifted can succeed both creatively and professorially
3) a person cannot succeed professorially and creatively at the same time
4) one should not pursue a creative field unless one intends to excel in it.

I will post the answer after QA.

Akash,

This is my rationale.

Artists succeed - if naturally gifted or practise diligent
But in order to have time to be materially succesful at a creative field, one must be naturally gifted - Conclusion

1) professional who spend a great deal of time practicing their creative pursuit will not earn much money - doesnt presuppose that.
2) only people who are naturally creatively gifted can succeed both creatively and professorially - The premise says that people who are diligent will succeed creatively.
3) a person cannot succeed professorially and creatively at the same time - it does not presuppose that one cannot have creative and professional success - one just needs time if one is creative.
4) one should not pursue a creative field unless one intends to excel in it. - it doesnt say this. it says that in order to have time to be materially successful, one should not pursue a field unless one is naturally gifted.
