It is widely held that artists are assisted substantially in the practice of their art when they receive a large grant or a donation from a benefactor. In fact, relief from economic distress is often a great disincentive to artists, who are no longer compelled to work in order to sustain themselves. Therefore, grants and donations prevent rather than encourage the creation of artists’ works.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion drawn above?
A. While grants are often provided to artists without any stipulations, benefactors often request that artists provide them with a token work of art in return for their donations.
B. Most artists are motivated to create works of art out of economic necessity; they sell their works in order to survive.
C. Not all donations to artists are made in the form of cash; some come in the form of supplies which the artists would otherwise be forced to buy.
D. Most grants are awarded on the basis of lengthy applications which must be completed by the artists themselves.
E. All artists who receive grants and donations are completely dependent on that money to cover their daily expenses; without those funds, they would have to discontinue the practice of their art.
