- B.
By using drab, faded colors, Millet is creating a mood of sadness which underpins the difficult, backbreaking labors of the poor.
- C.
By obscuring the three women’s faces, Millet is emphasizing the anonymity of peasant class laborers who formed the backbone of 1850s economic growth in France, yet will likely be forgotten in the annals of history.
- D.
By positioning the three women prominently in the frame, Millet is emphasizing the importance of the labors of the working class to 1850s society.
Correct Answer
D. By positioning the three women prominently in the frame, Millet is empHasizing the importance of the labors of the working class to 1850s society.Explanation
Millet's placement of the three women in the foreground suggests that he is highlighting the significance of the working class's labor in 1850s society. By giving them a prominent position in the frame, Millet is drawing attention to their contributions and emphasizing their importance. This interpretation is supported by the fact that the aristocratic overseer in the background is depicted in a leisurely manner, creating a contrast between the working class and the upper class. This suggests that Millet is emphasizing the unjust disparity between the two classes and the value of the labor performed by the working class.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Possible projections or misinterpretations of others observing the childExplanation
When assessing a child anecdotally, it is important to consider possible projections or misinterpretations of others observing the child. This is because the observations and interpretations of others can be subjective and influenced by their own biases, which may lead to inaccurate assessments of the child's behavior. It is crucial to critically evaluate the source of information and consider the potential biases that may be present in order to make a more objective assessment of the child.Rate this question:
