2) “From the liberation of our spirit, victorious art will emerge. And the first advertisements of our hope are the ones we offer here for your curiosity. It's these extravagant paintings, these absurd sculptures, this crazy music, this airy and disjointed poetry. Wonderful dawn!" With these words, the writer Graça Aranha opened the activities of the Week of Modern Art, held at the Municipal Theater of São Paulo, between February 13th and 17th, 1922. One of the goals of the promoters of this event was:

a) scandalize society, considered retrograde, by bringing together a set of innovative works and artists.
b) laying the foundations for an artistic production in academic molds, since, in Brazil, popular cultural production was traditionally valued.
c) make art and cultural products closer to the workers, with whom radical artists identified.
d) bring to the country a sample of European avant-gardes, through the presentation of works by foreign artists.

3) In February 1922, the imposing Municipal Theater of São Paulo was the stage for an event that would change the future path of the arts in Brazil. Under widespread jeers and whistles, a group of young artists and intellectuals spread their new ideas. What were these new ideas about?
a) Expansion of the Symbolist movement in Brazil.
b) Promotion of Parnassianism in Brazil.
c) Reflection on romanticism in Brazil.
d) Inauguration of modernism in Brazil.
e) Implementation of Arcadianism in Brazil.

4) Changes in worldviews brought different aesthetic perspectives that founded the modernist vanguards. Impressionism was important in the construction of these aesthetic conceptions, because:
( ) strengthened traditions from classical culture.
( ) encouraged the artist's creative autonomy.
( ) had, since its inception, a receptive and economically favorable art market.
( ) had the participation of artists who defended a geometric representation of the world.
( ) contributed a new technique to work with shapes and colors.

5) In the 1920s, reactions against the oligarchic structures of the Old Republic were not limited to political-military revolts. Therefore, it would be CORRECT to state that:
a) The contest triggered a strong reaction from the bourgeois class, which led the movement for the Reform of the Cultural and Artistic System.
b) The contest reached the movement led by students, having as stage the Municipal Theater of Rio de Janeiro, in 1922.
c) The contest aroused in the peasant population a revolt against the festivals unleashed by the bourgeoisie during the Week of Modern Art.
d) The contest also reached the cultural field, manifesting itself in the so-called modernist movement, which had its initial landmark in the Week of Modern Art.
e) The contestation revolutionized and exclusively influenced State policies, reflected in Brazil by the violent drop in coffee prices
