Charles Batteux believed that it is 'arts' production of beauty' that distinguishes :

  • A.the arts and crafts from sciences
  • B.the arts from sciences
  • C.the arts from the crafts and sciences
  • D.the arts and sciences from crafts

Answer: C

Batteux held that the production of beauty distinguishes the arts from the crafts and sciences.

The passage says the French aesthetician Charles Batteux put forward the idea that what distinguishes the arts from the crafts and the sciences is the arts' production of beauty. Beauty is the mark of the arts alone, set against both the other groups.

The other options group the arts with crafts or with sciences, which undoes the distinction Batteux was drawing.
