Question

Read the passage.

If you ever visit Denver, Colorado, you should allow yourself several hours to peruse the Denver Art Museum’s Asian art collection. This world-renowned collection houses an impressive array of artwork, including woodblock prints, tea ceremony articles, bamboo sculptures, and much more. One piece of particular interest is a 17th-century ink-on-silk drawing of Daruma, a South Indian monk. Visitors can also view Japanese ceramics and paintings by women artists from the 17th–19th centuries—the largest such collection outside of Japan. The Denver Art Museum is one of the larger US art museums, with its global collections containing more than 70,000 works of art from around the world.

Which sentence should be replaced to better support the passage’s central idea?

“This world-renowned collection houses an impressive array of artwork, including woodblock prints, tea ceremony articles, bamboo sculptures, and much more.”
“One piece of particular interest is a 17th-century ink-on-silk drawing of Daruma, a South Indian monk.”
“Visitors can also view Japanese ceramics and paintings by women artists from the 17th–19th centuries—the largest such collection outside of Japan.”
“The Denver Art Museum is one of the larger US art museums, with its global collections containing more than 70,000 works of art from around the world.”

Answer 1

“The Denver Art Museum is one of the larger US art museums, with its global collections containing more than 70,000 works of art from around the world.”

Reason: it shifts focus to the museum’s overall size and global holdings rather than supporting the passage’s central idea about the museum’s Asian art collection.
