Question 1

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: • Lina Cho is a conservation scientist. • In 2015, Lina Cho developed PrismMap, an imaging system that maps hidden pigment layers without removing samples. • PrismMap and infrared reflectography share one feature: both examine artworks without removing material. • Unlike infrared reflectography, PrismMap records a broader range of wavelengths. • In 2016, researchers tested both methods on 22 painted panels. • PrismMap detected hidden pigment layers in 19 of them; infrared reflectography detected hidden pigment layers in 11. • PrismMap revealed indigo beneath a coastal scene. • PrismMap also revealed vermilion beneath a portrait. • The original equipment could not be used at remote chapels because the murals there could not be moved to a laboratory. • Motivated by that problem, Lina Cho created a portable version of PrismMap in 2020. • The method has three steps: first, calibrate the camera; next, scan the artwork; finally, compare the recorded spectra with a pigment database. • Specialists already familiar with Lina Cho and PrismMap may not know that the adaptation made the imaging system usable at remote chapels.

The student wants to give an example supporting the claim that PrismMap can identify different hidden pigments in more than one artwork. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
