Hi All,

The purpose of a general theory of art is to explain every aesthetic feature
that is found in any of the arts. Pre-modern general theories of art, however,
focused primarily on painting and sculpture. Every pre-modern general theory
of art, even those that succeed as theories of painting or sculpture, fails to
explain some aesthetic feature of music.

The statements above, if true, most strongly support which one of following?

(A) Any general theory of art that explains the aesthetic features of
painting also explains those of sculpture.
(B) A general theory of art that explains every aesthetic feature of music
will achieve its purpose.
(C) Any theory of art that focus primarily on sculpture or painting cannot
explain every aesthetic feature of music.
(D) No pre-modern general theory of art achieves its purpose unless music
is not art.
(E) No pre-modern general theory of art explains any aesthetic feature of
music that is not shared with painting and sculpture.
