Which one of the following is an assumption that the art historian's argument requires in order for its conclusion to be properly drawn?

  1. Assumption

  2. Resolve

  3. Conclusion

  4. Critique

The correct answer is: Assumption

In order for the art historian's argument to be properly drawn, it must rely on certain assumptions. The correct answer choice, "Assumption," is essential because assumptions are the unstated premises that support the conclusion of an argument. In this case, the art historian's argument will only be valid if it is based on certain assumed pieces of information or conditions. These assumptions serve as the foundation on which the conclusion rests. It is crucial to identify and recognize the underlying assumptions in an argument to assess the validity of the conclusion drawn. The other answer choices – Resolve, Conclusion, and Critique – are not directly related to the requirement for assumptions in the argument structure.
