The underlined portion makes the sentence ambiguous. Replace it with the choice that best reduces that ambiguity.

A

his

B

one's

C

the former's

D

the other artist's

Correct Answer: C

Choice C is the best answer. "The former's" refers to Da Vinci.

Choice A is incorrect because "his" is ambiguous. Choice B is incorrect because "one's" is vague. Choice D is incorrect because "the other artist's" is vague.
