Answer Explanation - Art Gallery
Questions 1-6:
Read the following notice.
Using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS OR NUMBERS answer the questions below.
Question 1: Which exhibition can you visit in late August?
Answer: Developmental Art.
Keywords: exhibition, late August.
Explanation: The answer to this question is found in Developmental Art. The exhibition opens July 25 and closes September 30. This means that one can attend the exhibition in late August. Please do not be tempted to write 'Greek Olympic Sculpture' which someone can visit in early August (till the 7th of August) and not late August.
So, the correct answer is: Developmental Art.
Question 2: A student would like a headset for the Greek Olympic Sculpture. How much will it cost?
Answer: $4.50.
Keywords: headset, Greek Olympic Sculpture, cost.
Explanation: It is explicitly mentioned that headsets are exclusively available for the Greek Olympic Sculpture. Here, take a look at the line, “A fee of $6.00 per adult, $5.00 for members and $4.50 for students will be charged”.
So, the answer is: $4.50.
Question 3: Which exhibition shows the work of young people?
Answer: Developmental Art.
Keywords: exhibition, work of young people.
Explanation: The answer to this question is found in the 'Developmental Art' section. Take a look at the line, “work by gifted local school children on show in the East Gallery”.
Here, school children = young people.
So, the answer is: Developmental Art.
Question 4: How much must a member pay to see the exhibition of art from the United States?
Answer: $5.00 / five dollars.
Keywords: exhibition, art from the United States, pay.
Explanation: The answer can be traced in 'The Art of the Early West' section. Here, it is stated that American art of the westward expansion is on show in the South Gallery, Level 3. Take a look at the line, “$15 adults, $5.00 for members, $4.50 for students”. This implies that the cost is $15 for adults, $5.00 for members, and $4.50 for students.
Here, American art = art from the United States.
So, the answer is: $5.00 / five dollars.
Question 5: In which location would you find the oldest exhibits?
Answer: The North Gallery.
Keywords: location, oldest exhibits.
Explanation: The answer is found in the 'Greek Olympic Sculpture' section. Take a look at the phrase, “a historical exhibit of work by ancient artists is in the North Gallery”.
Here, a historical exhibit of work by ancient artists = oldest exhibits & North Gallery = location.
This means that The North Gallery hosts an exhibition of artworks created by artists from ancient times.
So, the answer is: The North Gallery.
Question 6: Which exhibit could a large group see most cheaply?
Answer: New Year Festivities.
Keyword: large group, most cheaply
Explanation: The answer to this question is found in the New Year Festivities section. It is stated there that the Hanson Theatre, Level 2, Main Building, is housing a multimedia exhibition celebrating New Year festivities. Most importantly, it stresses that there is no admission fee; entry to the exhibition is free. If you are confused about whether free means cheap - it does. Ask yourself if you can take a bus ride for free and another one costs $10, which one is cheaper? Obviously, the one that costs you $0 is cheaper than the one that costs $10.
So, the answer is: New Year Festivities.
