Question
The author anticipates which of the following initial objections to the adoption of his proposal?
Options:
A .  An oversupply of salable artifacts will result and the demand for them will fall.
B .  Artifacts that would have been displayed in public places will be sold to private collectors.
C .  Illegal excavators will have an even larger supply of artifacts for resale.
D .  Counterfeiting of artifacts will become more commonplace.
Answer: Option B
:
B
B is the best answer. The author begins the third paragraph by saying “you might object…” in order to anticipate possible objections to the adoption of his proposal. In the next sentence the author asserts that “ancient artifacts…should be available for all to appreciate, not sold to the highest bidder” (lines 29-33), acknowledging an opponent's fear that individuals might be allowed to purchase objects that ought to be displayed in public institutions. This objection is paraphrased in this choice.
