the best way to rewrite sentence For and here the
- 00:26
potential answers A real art All caps that classical paintings
- 00:34
All right well release uses sarcasm when describing classical representational
- 00:40
art as really art missed it the first time though
- 00:44
Yeah we did too The trouble with the original sentences
- 00:47
that this sarcasm is well just not totally clear Unlike
- 00:51
our fine working schmuck where it hits over the head
- 00:53
with a hammer The main idea of this paper is
- 00:55
that abstract art is just a cz legit as representational
- 00:59
art at least things that a smear of paint on
- 01:02
a canvas is as good as a painting that's painstakingly

- 01:39
the only kind of art that's real But this sense
- 01:42
is trying to convince us otherwise Well guess what choice
- 01:45
see is the correct answer It keeps the meaning of
- 01:47
the original sentence but manages to give us the correct
- 01:50
kind of emphasis on the term riel art Putting the
- 01:54
phrase real art in quotation marks shows sarcasm allowing at
- 01:57
least to get across the idea that she doesn't agree
- 02:00
with what most people think Way should be good as
- 02:03
long as we don't go too crazy with quotation marks
- 02:06
they was their significance If we'll use too often and
- 02:09
here's looking at you fans of air quotes rather tears 00:02:13.558 --> [endTime] or something you know
