The Art World
One of the major problems in the art world is how to distinguish and promote an artist. In effect, a market must be created for an artist to be successful. The practice of signing and numbering individual prints was introduced by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, the nineteenth-century artist best known for the painting of his mother, called “Arrangement in Grey and Black”, but known to most of us as “Whistler’s Mother”. Whistler’s brother-in-law, Sir Francis Seymour Haden, a less well-known artist, had speculated that collectors might find prints more attractive if they knew that there were only a limited number of copies produced. By signing the work in pencil, an artist could guarantee and personalize each print.
As soon as Whistler and Haden began the practice of signing and numbering their prints, their work began to increase in value. When other artists noticed that the signed prints commanded higher prices, they began copying the procedure.
Although most prints are signed on the right-hand side in the margin below the image, the placement of the signature is a matter of personal choice. Indeed, prints have been signed within image, in any of the margins, or even on the reverse side of the’print. Wherever the artist elects to sign it, a signed print is still valued above an unsigned one, even in the same edition.
It can be inferred from the passage that artists number their prints _____.

Đáp án B.
Keywords: inferred, artists, number, prints.
Clue:
1. Collectors might find prints more attractive if they knew that there were only a limited number of copies produced. By signing the work in pencil, an artist could guarantee and personalize each print: các nhà sưu tầm tranh sẽ đánh giá cao bức tranh hơn nếu như họ biết rằng chỉ có một số lượng có hạn bản sao được vẽ. Bằng cách ký bút chì vào bức vẽ, hoạ sĩ có thể đảm bảo và cá nhân hoá cho bức tranh.
2. Although most prints are signed on the right-hand side in the margin below the image, the placement of the signature is a matter of personal choice. Indeed, prints have been signed within image, in any of the margins, or even on the reserve side of the ‘print: Mặc dù hầu hết các bản in được ký ở phía bên phải bên lề phía dưới hình ảnh, việc ký ở đâu là một sự lựa chọn cá nhân. Thật vậy, bản in đã được ký bên trong hình ảnh, ở bất kỳ lề nào, hoặc thậm chí ở mặt sau của bản in.
Phân tích: Như vậy đáp án B. to guarantee a limited edition, ý nói ký vào tranh là để đảm bảo rằng bản vẽ này là có hạn, là đáp án đúng. Các đáp án khác đều không có thông tin hoặc thông tin sai lệch với bài đọc.
A. as an accounting procedure: như là một thủ tục kế toán (Không có thông tin).
C. when the buyer request it: khi người mua yêu cầu (Không có thông tin).
D. at the same place on each of the prints: ở cùng một nơi trên mỗi bản in (Thông tin sai. Xem clue 2).
