Q10 - Rachel and James Disagree...

[IneedLSAThelp]

I was wondering if A would be the right answer because it's implied that Rachel thinks contemporary art is worse now than in the past or if it's because she specifically mentioned that "this freedom has caused a decline in the quality of art"?

Rachel explicitly states that contemporary art has had a decline in quality. So we know she believes that contemporary art is of lower quality than that of earlier eras.

James would disagree with this concept due to what he states in the last sentence by people mistakenly thinking contemporary art is generally inferior to earlier eras.

This is supposed to be a fairly easy question but I have a little beef with why (A) is right. During BR, I picked (B), however, I can see why B is wrong because James doesn’t have an opinion on boundaries. But does Rachel really believe that contemporary art is of lower quality than earlier art when she just says that artists’ freedom has just caused a general decline? Isn’t that a stretch? Someone please justify this to me.
