Eastlake was sharing an opinion, not uncovering a truth. Choice C is incorrect. \"Discovered\" means \"found,\" but Eastlake was writing an opinion essay. She was writing her own opinion, not \"discovering\" a new universal truth. Choice D is incorrect. \"Doubted\" means \"didn’t believe in.\" We’re told that Eastlake \"questioned\" the idea that photography could be fine art. Placing \"doubted\" in the blank would actually suggest that Eastlake argued that photos were valuable for creativity and not for information, which is the opposite of what we were told she believes.</p>","correct_answer":["B"],"has_media":false,"has_mathml":false,"has_table":false,"source_created_at":"2023-08-02T20:25:59.378000+00:00","source_updated_at":"2023-08-02T20:25:59.378000+00:00","options":[{"label":"A","content_html":"<p>exposed</p>","ord":0},{"label":"B","content_html":"<p>asserted</p>","ord":1},{"label":"C","content_html":"<p>discovered</p>","ord":2},{"label":"D","content_html":"<p>doubted</p>","ord":3}],"attribution":{"source_id":"cb_question_bank","source_name":"College Board digital SAT question bank (community dump)","rights_holder":"College Board","canonical_url":"https://satsuitequestionbank.collegeboard.org/","retrieved_from":"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mdn522/sat-question-bank/main/data/cb-digital-questions.json","attribution":"SAT practice questions © College Board, from the official SAT Suite Question Bank.
