Опрос от журнала "8 часов": "Чем Вы питаетесь на работе?"

Politicians are primarily concerned with their own survival; artists are
concerned with revealing truth. Of course, the difference in their reactions is
readily predictable. For example, while the governmental leaders wrote laws to
ensure the triumph of industrialization in Western Europe, artists painted,
wrote about, and composed music
in response to the horrible conditions created by the Industrial Revolution.
Only later did political leaders come to see what the artists had immediately
perceived, and then only through a glass darkly. Experience teaches us
that___________.

Which of the following represents the most logical continuation of the passage?

A) artistic vision perceives in advance of political practice
B) artists are Utopian by nature while governmental leaders are practical
C) throughout history political leaders have not been very responsive to the
needs of their people
D) the world would be a much better place to live if only artists would become
kings
E) history is the best judge of the progress of civilization
