<u>Answer to Part A:</u> American Gothic represents Grant Wood's personal view of midwesterners.
The speaker in the text intends to defend the meaning of the painting from claims of its mocking depictions of midwesterners. It is stated a the painting had a deeper meaning about society, one that goes beyond the common observer's understaing.
The rest of the options are not the text's central idea since:
- The atmosphere of the painting does not revolve around medieval times, since that era ended in the 15th century. The figures in the painting represent americans, nation that was founded much later in time.
- In the text, it is not considered that the painting is a joke - quite the contrary -. The counter-argument to this is supported by the speaker.
- There are no political parties involved in this context, which denies the fact that the painting is a political statement.
<u>Answer to Part B:</u> "The irony is that the original painting itself may have been making more of a comment on society than many observers realize".
This statement supports the idea that beyond the observer's judgement on the depiction of the characters in the painting, the real meaning of this work might comprise the painter's personal view on the society being disputed over, the midwesterns.

There are two main things to keep in mind when trying to
determine whether a sentence is written in the passive voice or if it is
written in the active voice. First, passive
voice is when the subject has the action done to it, and active voice is when
the subject does the action. Second,
passive voice will always have linking/helping verbs. That said, answers, “A,” “C,” and “D” have
the action being done to the subject, and all three have linking/helping verbs
in the form of “are” and “be.” “B” is
the only answer where the subject (in this case, “people”) is doing the action
of “think” and has not linking/helping verbs.
