I do see that Burke fears other countries enacting patrimony law, or the lack of statutes limiting reclamation. Nonetheless, I am confused why B is wrong and C is correct. I debated between the two but ended up choosing B.
Can someone please help me understand why B is wrong?
Thanks.

Re: Q16
Hi Soyeonjeon,
We need to understand Burke’s fears to tackle this question. Paragraph 2 outlines Burke’s worry that patrimony laws will lead to foreign countries trying to reclaim artworks pillaged long ago. Burke expresses concern that this will mean museums will have to engage in expensive law suits.
(B) is unsupported. Perhaps the "strict international accord" it describes would allow the dreaded patrimony laws, or perhaps it wouldn’t. Perhaps the accord would be sufficiently strict to assuage all of Burke’s fears. There isn’t enough evidence to support the conclusion that this "strict international accord" would pose a threat to museums.
(C) perfectly matches Burkes fears. It describes a situation in which a foreign country would try to reclaim works of art made long ago.
(A) is unsupported. This answer choice addresses future exportations of artifacts; Burke’s fears concern artifacts stolen in the past.
(D) is out of scope. We’re talking about objects already owned by museums, not works of art that might be acquired by private collectors.
(E), like (B), is unsupported. This answer choice doesn’t provide evidence as to whether or not this central regulatory body would permit patrimony laws.
Hope this helps!
