Humanities CLEP Prep Practice Exam

What do the performing and visual arts have in common?

1. They are expressions of creativity

2. They involve a high level of technical skill

3. They are both used as forms of communication

4. They are expressions of culture

The correct answer is: They are both used as forms of communication

Performing and visual arts have in common the fact that both are used as forms of communication. While A may also be true, not all forms of creative expression belong exclusively to the arts. For example, cooking and designing may involve creativity but are not always considered art forms. B may be true for some types of art but not all. And although D may be true, not all forms of culture can be categorized as performing or visual arts. Therefore, C is the most accurate and encompassing answer.
