Which famous artist is discovered stabbed to death in his home on the day fish fall from the sky?

• A. A painter
• B. A sculptor
• C. A poet
• D. A musician

Answer: (B)

This question hinges on identifying the artist by their medium from a scene described with a surreal omen. The famous artist who is found stabbed to death in his home on the day fish fall from the sky is presented as a sculptor. That link to sculpture fits the moment best, because sculpture centers on shaping and breaking form—the violence of stabbing mirrors the disruption of a once-formed piece and ties into the strange, fate-like event of fish raining down. The painter, poet, and musician are associated with different kinds of creation (color on canvas, words, sound), which don’t match the described scene as closely. So the sculptor is the most fitting choice.
