Q19
Can someon help me in seeing choice C. I know the second paragraph discusses the problem that Elison has with the critics view and it ends by saying how it effects the audience, by assuming the limitations on audiences but. Is choice C clarifying this or is there something else needed to fully understand this choice. If someone could help.

Re: Q19
I think you got it!
We're asked to infer Ellison's views about how an audience relates to art. In lines 20 - 28, particularly in lines 26-28, we learn that Ellison thinks that criticisms of his work are flawed because they assume audiences can view art only through their own perspectives. So, we can infer that Ellison believes the opposite, which is what (C) notes. It might feel like there's a bit of a stretch with the use of the word "empathy," but it's part of the overall idea of appreciation.
(A) is is out of scope - there's no discussion of audience reactions to apolitical art.
(B) is out of scope - there's no discussion of how criticism affects an audience's experience of the art (though I'm sure critics might think their critiques are that important!).
(D) is also out of scope.
(E) is contradicted by what Ellison states in lines 26-28.
BTW, I really enjoyed this passage and it makes me want to re-read Invisible Man. I think I'm doing to much LSAT work!
