The artist's work was praised for its evocative imagery that transported viewers to distant landscapes. Critics noted that each piece seemed to capture not just appearances but emotional atmospheres.
As used in the text, what does the word "evocative" most nearly mean?
forgettable
technical
colorless
suggestive
Correct Answer: D
Choice D is the best answer. The passage describes imagery that "transported viewers" and captured "emotional atmospheres." "Suggestive" means evoking feelings or ideas, fitting this power to create emotional impressions.
Choice A is incorrect because "forgettable" contradicts praised effectiveness. Choice B is incorrect because "technical" doesn't convey emotional power. Choice C is incorrect because "colorless" contradicts vivid imagery.
