Thanks for the question. These main point questions can be tough, but hopefully, I can help.
There is no real shortcut to these, and this is where it's crucial to have read the entire passage to understand the overall point.
There are a couple things that suggest to me that (C) is wrong. First, the first part of the passage focuses considerably on this unique feature of Venetian artwork, which could suggest that (C) is the point. However, in lines 27-31 the author turns the discussion to other differences beyond this. Thus (C) doesn't encapsulate the full discussion the way (B) does.
Second, (C) talks about the visual aspects of Venetian art that differ from Tuscan, but the passage from beginning to end is more concerned about WHY Venetian art is different from Tuscan art rather than in what way it is different.
Hope that clears it up.

I am having difficulties understanding this passage. Can some break each paragraph down?
