Why is B correct? Why is D incorrect?

Yes, Please explain the difference between B and D?

Hi @Ryan-Mahabir and @tomgbean, (B) is correct because the author brings up the suspension of disbelief in order to explain the photograph's "doubleness" (line 37), and our awareness of this doubleness is what makes our response to these pictures "peculiar." The contrast is set up because we can't suspend disbelief when looking at pictures of actors. (D), on the other hand, is incorrect because there is no criticism of the fancy-subject pictures in the passage; if you think there is one, let me know where you think it is so we can go through it. Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any further questions you may have.
