Identifying Reasons That are Helpful in Focusing Perception 2

Determine whether the following reasons are (1) helpful in focusing perception to elicit a favorable response, (2) helpful in focusing perception to elicit an unfavorable response, (3) too vague to focus perception, (4) false or implausible and therefore unable to focus perception, or (5) irrelevant to focusing perception.

 

The information you need is contained in the reasons, so try to visualize or imagine what the work is like from what is said. All of these are paraphrases of testimony given at a hearing in 1985 about a proposal to remove Tilted Arc,an immense abstract sculpture, from a plaza in front of a federal office building.

 

  1. Tilted Arc is big and rusty.

Too vague to focus perception

False or implausible and therefore unable to focus perception

Irrelevant to focusing perception

 

 

  1. Because of its size, thrusting shape, and implacably uniform-rusting surface, Tilted Arc makes us feel hopeless, trapped, and sad. This sculpture would be interesting if we could visit it when we had time to explore these feelings, but it is too depressing to face every day on our way to work.
