Aristotle believed that the purpose of art was to do what?

Reveal universal truths
Capture beauty
Replicate nature
Make a political statement

The correct answer is: Reveal universal truths

Aristotle believed that the purpose of art was to reveal universal truths. While capturing beauty, replicating nature, and making political statements may sometimes be components of art, they are not the ultimate purpose according to Aristotle. Instead, he believed that art should go beyond the surface and offer insight into moral and philosophical truths that are applicable to all of humanity. Therefore, A is the best answer because it aligns with Aristotle's teachings on the purpose of art.
