PrepTest 44, Section 3, Question 13
Whether a machine performs its intended function is plain for all to see, but recognition of excellence in art requires a rare subtlety of perception. So whereas engineers usually maintain their composure when their work is being evaluated, artists tend to become anxious under such circumstances.

The reasoning above conforms most closely to which one of the following propositions?
People who have an interest in working as artists are no more likely to have especially anxious personalities than are people who have an interest in working as engineers.
The value of a machine is independent of the feelings of those who create it, while the value of an artwork is not.
Evaluation of the work of engineers should be based on a different set of standards than is evaluation of the work of artists.
People who create things whose success can be easily ascertained worry less about others' opinions of their work than do people who create things whose value cannot be easily ascertained.
Someone who creates a work that cannot be easily evaluated tends to be less confident about its value than are those who evaluate it.
