    The first time I went to art class, the teacher, a man

    called Barington, told us that everything we could see was made of atoms. Everything. And that if we could understand that, we could begin to be artists. The room went quiet. …………………………………………………………………………………He continued his introduction to art by holding up his pencil, and proceeded to draw a perfect circle on the piece of paper he had taped to the wall.
    A He asked for questions, but all of us were struck dumb, wondering if we were in the right class. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B There was general excitement and sighs of relief from the assembled pupils. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Perhaps we were in an art class after all. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D I’ve transferred atoms from the pencil to the paper. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
