How many works were included in Vida Americana?

• A. Nearly 200 works by twentieth-century Latino and Mexican artists
• B. 50 works
• C. About 300 works
• D. 100 works

Answer: (A)

This question tests your recall of a factual detail about the Vida Americana exhibition—the number of works included. The best description is that the show featured nearly 200 works by twentieth-century Latino and Mexican artists. This size signals a substantial survey that aims to represent a broad range of artists and media, highlighting the dialogue between Mexican muralists and U.S. modernists. The other totals don’t fit the published scope: 50 would underrepresent the breadth, 100 would still be fairly modest for a comprehensive survey, and 300 would imply a much larger collection than was actually presented. So nearly 200 is the most accurate depiction of the exhibition’s size.
