41. - 43. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre

In some respects, the history of art is comparable with
that of literature. There is continuity and change in both,
progressive improvement in neither. Both are
characterised by works that seem to have some sorts of
limitations, with a timeless appeal independent of, and
sometimes at odds with, the intentions of their creators.
The history of art is, however, dependent on the
physical survival of objects. And their survival has
depended on a number of factors, as has their
destruction. For instance, religious images have been
destroyed in order to change people’s beliefs. Yet, in
some places, works of art have been preserved in
private collections and later, public museums, for their
artistic excellence. It is no coincidence that only where
this has occurred have histories of art been written.
41. It is stated in the passage that one common
point of history of art and that of literature is ----.
A) the similarity between the works
B) that both can survive only if their physical
objects survive
C) the sharp distinction between the intentions of
creators
D) that they are both continuous and changing
E) that works of art have begun to be preserved
recently

improvement
D) is unique to every culture because of the
religious struggles
E) can exist only where survival of physical objects
is possible

care taken to preserve works of art ----.
A) was much more in the past due to the
appreciation of these works of art
B) did not always exist, which resulted in the
destruction of many works
C) has never been as much as it has been for the
works of literature
D) emerged when the first museums were founded
all around the world
