Read this passage. Then, answer the question(s).
The early-twentieth-century artist George Bellows is an important figure in the artistic discovery of the city. (2) Without overly sentimentalizing his subjects, he finds the distinctive values of urban existence. (3) Take the painting that he called Cliff Dwellers. (4) Borrowing a term for earlier peoples living on mountainsides, Bellows instead paints figures in the âcliffsâ of tenement houses in a crowded city neighborhood. (5) The painting is vividly realistic, and most of the people that it shows clearly lead difficult lives. (6) Yet the overall message is one of joyous celebration, of urban energy, of human resilience. (7) Similarly, consider Bellowsâs famous painting A Morning SnowâHudson River, which shows a scene on New Yorkâs Upper West Side. (8) Here, snow covers the usual urban grit, and a father and child walk peacefully down a snow-lined path in the right foreground. (9) Yet Bellows makes sure that we never forget that his setting is a city, where most people work hard for a living. (10) Thus, in the left foreground, contrasting with those leisurely strollers, is a working man shoveling snow from the sidewalk. (11) Echoing the theme of work are the boats sailing the Hudson River in the distant background, their smokestacks belching steam into the crisp morning air.
29. Based on the passage, what can you infer were the inspirations for Bellowsâs art. Use evidence from the passage to support your answer.

Read the following excerpt from "dark tower" by claude mckay before you choose your answer. "we shall not always plant while others reap the golden increment of bursting fruit, nor always countenance, abject and mute, that lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; not everlastingly while others sleep shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute, not always bend to some more subtle brute. we were not made eternally to weep. the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark, white stars, is no less lovely being dark; and there are buds that cannot bloom at all in light, but crumple, piteous, and fall. so in the dark we hid the heart that bleeds, and wait, and tend our agonizing needs." in context, the expression "the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark,/ white stars, is no less lovely being dark; " is best interpreted as a. the light of the stars overpowers the black of night b. the black of night overpowers the light of the stars c. black and white contribute equally to the beauty of the night sky d. black and white continuously compete for prominence in the night sky
