Question

Which option best completes the diagram?

Answer 1

Answer: B. The museum argues that the language is not obscene because it has artistic merit.

Explanation:

The First Amendment grants vital protection to artistic expression and rigorously restricts the government’s power to censor provocative works in most circumstances. Nevertheless, limitations on the publication of art remains an issue in many contexts. Some artistic creation may be subject to censorship based on its content. Materials considered obscene may be censored, but legitimate artistic expressions are never deemed obscene because in Miller v. California (1973) the Supreme Court eliminated materials with a serious artistic value from the description of obscenity.

Answer 2

The option that completes the diagram is the following:

B. The museum argues that the language is not obscene because it has artistic merit.

The first point of the diagram adds the important detail that the language used is a quotation of an artist, so B is the logical point to add to the diagram.
