Answer 1

C. “Some great artists have received negative feedback and become very successful.”

Step-by-step explanation:

The best thing for you to say to George to help put his critique in perspective and cheer him up is: “Some great artists have received negative feedback and become very successful.” (Option C). This statement will help George to understand that negative critiques are not uncommon and that they do not necessarily reflect the true value of his artwork. Many successful artists have received harsh critiques throughout their careers, but they persevered and continued to create art that spoke to them. By reminding George of this fact, you can encourage him to continue creating art and to not let one negative critique discourage him. Options A, B, and D are not appropriate responses as they are either untrue, insensitive, or dismissive of George’s feelings.
