Photography is no longer an art form. Nowadays everyone has access to digital cameras that only need to be pointed at the subject in order to generate a perfect image.
The writer of the argument apparently assumes that
A. the selection of the subject is not an important artistic factor in photography
B. digital cameras will continue to improve in quality
C. digital cameras can never go wrong
D. photography with all other types of camera is an art form
E. art is not perfect

I'm thinking C here. The phrase "perfect image" makes me think of this option.
A is incorrect because the relative importance of elements (such as subject, angle, type of camera) is not discussed.
B is also wrong, because there's no mentioning of the future advancements in the field.
D is not an assumption here because there are two aspects of photography that are taken into account: who take the photo ("everyone") and what they use ("digital cameras"). IMHO, it is implied that people who use other types of cameras can or cannot obtain a "perfect image" depending on their skill.
E - there's no evidence to support that this option is the correct one, on the contrary, the opposite might very well be true. If photography is no longer an art because anyone can get a perfect image with a digital camera, then art is perfect.
However, I personally believe that this is a pretty poorly written question. What is the source of this?

Photography > pointed at the subject > perfect image > is Art
Here author assumes that digital cameras will continue to improve in quality and as a result of which they will generate perfect pictures. So photography will no longer will be an art form.
So, My pick is B

I have not heard of this company up until now. Even though they might have some better questions, a word of caution: try to practice with certified material, from companies with a well established reputation in the business. Only after you run out of mainstream stuff you should go for other options. The problem is that some companies just write low quality questions that do not actually prepare you for the GMAT. On the contrary, your vision of a certain question type might be distorted because of poorly written material.harsh.champ wrote: The source is from a test that I had attempted at majortests.com

When I used Denial test to A...
the selection of the subject is not an important artistic factor in photography
After negation :
the selection of the subject is an important artistic factor in photography
..
since the author claims that Photography is no longer an art form..And our selected assumption tries to link the claim & the given premises..
As Dana said...Iam also not inline with the source..
In GMAT prep questions I have seen "Solid Patterns " that resembles OG

The site caught my eye when I saw some good SC problems over there.
So,I also started attempting the other sections.
Is the site not trustful??

The argument says that DIGITAL CAMERAS make it easy to generate perfect image. Therefore taking images is not an art form.
Putting in more simpler form: Because of Digital Cameras, photography is no longer an art form.
The assumption is: other types of cameras produce art form (photography).

Official Answer is A.
Denial Tests Work for both A and C.
IF Opp of A is taken , the statement Falls apart. That means selection of object is important.
If opp of c is taken, then sometimes we will not get perfect images from Digital Cameras. The statement falls apart.
