The curator's _______ eye for detail allowed her to identify forgeries that had fooled less experienced collectors, spotting inconsistencies in brushwork and pigment that others missed entirely.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
discriminating
careless
colorful
random
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. The passage describes ability to spot subtle details others miss. "Discriminating" means showing refined taste or judgment, fitting this expert detection.
Choice B is incorrect because "careless" contradicts spotting details. Choice C is incorrect because "colorful" refers to color, not judgment. Choice D is incorrect because "random" contradicts skilled analysis.
