Reading Comprehension 5lb Book Chapter 5 question 22

[ajtawil]

Working through the 5lb book of problems and in chapter 5, question 22 the question asks what the passage indicates.

The passage was about the artistic battle between Matisse and Picasso. The answer to the question was "Matisse was older than Picasso" and in the answers it says that this was illustrated in the third paragraph of the passage... I have read a reread that paragraph and can't seem to pick out where it says that. So I'm wondering if I could have help shedding some light on the answer.

Thanks

Hey Aaron,

On line 27, it says "this image seems a direct attempt to master Matisse's style and to suggest to the older artist..." See? Matisse is the older artist in this construction.
