What is the greatest risk when a sacred narrative painting is converted into a commercial poster?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Oversimplification and disrespect of cultural meaning
The greatest risk is oversimplifying the sacred narrative or treating its cultural meaning disrespectfully. Commercial reproduction can remove the deeper context of the story, symbols, and traditions. Option B describes a possible consequence of this broader concern, whereas option A states the central risk most completely. Differences in colour reproduction or production cost are technical or commercial issues, not the primary cultural concern. Exam tip: For questions on commercialising traditional or sacred art, focus on context, respect, and cultural sensitivity.
