Re: All imaginative mentorship requires a specific degree [#permalink]
The use of the word imaginative and then using a detour word suggests that something opposite of imaginative should come and hence literal could be a good choice as it suggests for something real.

Can you please explain why the answer is - literal and not direct


All artistic mentorship requires a certain level of devotion and imitation, but in choreography the influence tends to be more (i) _______ . One body is taking direction from another.

The main idea of this question is that artistic mentorship requires instructions that has to be taken by the receiver as is. If you are imitating something, then you would want it to be exact replica as the original. Similarly, the same logic is applied here. In choreography, the influence is more EXACT, because one body is directly taking instructions from another.

Direct may correspond to direction, but successful imitation don't have to directly come from the source.

Hope this clears things up. This is definitely a MEDIUM level question.


Hello theBrahmaTiger,

I may have gotten this reason question right, but for the wrong reasons. I would like to ask how did we reach to artistic and choreography from imaginary and movement respectively. I read the prompt twice but still had no idea what it meant. My only clue was imaginative and however, so literal made sense.

Did I miss anything in the prompt which was the clue of the context?

This sentence is a little bit difficult to grasp.

At a glance, when you read it and see that you do need a specific dedication it seems that the word in the blank must be in the opposite direction

However, scanning the answer choices you realize that the word you need to fill the blank will reinforce the concept "specific"

Now, in general we need a lot of attention when we are performing the mentorship (whatever is the meaning of this process) and IN MOVEMENT this action is even more specific or "literal"

literal - correct
artful - out of scope because we are more specific and "concrete" in our process. Artful is something creative. we are not creative on this scenario, we are methodic
direct - from the context we are ALREADY direct or straight in what we want to do
flawless - all the process is already - possibly - flawless.
reciprocal - we already know this from the last portion of the sentence

I hope this helps
