Explanation:
I. There are 20 watercolor paintings, 12 pottery pieces, and 28 pointillism pieces in the art exposition.
Looking at the bolded sentence from the third paragraph,
A art school is holding an exposition to highlight their student talent. The exposition requires a third of the art work to be watercolor paintings and a fifth to be pottery pieces.
Therefore statement I. is justified.
II. Students that will be featured in the school's exposition require a least a days notice.
Looking at the bolded sentence from the second paragraph,
A pointillism piece that has dimensions of 12x18 takes on average 15 hours to create. A watercolor painting that is 17x23 takes on average 20 hours to create. A piece of pottery that has dimensions 6x2x4 takes 12 hours to create.
Since the longest an art piece takes to create is 20 hours, one days notice, although not desired, is acceptable. Therefore, statement II. is justified.
II. Timothy is known for his watercolor pieces and is expected to paint 4 for the school's exposition. Timothy can create all the pieces over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday).
Since a watercolor painting takes 20 hours and Timothy needs to create 4, that means it will take him 80 hours to complete them. Since there are only 24 hours in a day, Saturday and Sunday only gives 48 hours therefore, statement III. is not justified.
