Grammar
What does each part refer to?
Again, sorry for the very long quote...
1. The art market is the result of complex interactions that can usually not be explained by economic theory. The name of an artist, recent exhibitions, new books, rediscoveries, reactions of dealers, critics, museum directors, art historians, collectors and investors often influence tastes, aesthetic values and prices. Artists have sometimes been rated explicitly by art historians. Implicit ratings can also be computed by using, for instance, the length of entries in art history books, encyclopedias or dictionaries. Economists believe that prices can be taken as integrating (A)all these effects and (B)their dynamic interactions across artists and media may reveal some common patterns or, on the contrary, call attention to divergent behaviors.
(A): Can we pinpoint from the text exactly what this refers to?
(B): all these effects' : Is this correct?
2. A portion of the power of maps comes from (A)their long association with power. Maps have generally expressed knowledge about places from the viewpoint of the elite. The production of maps - certainly the useful (B)ones - demands, and seems always to have demanded, considerable amounts of capital in the form of training, time, field and archival research, materials, and even health and lives. Few have been the merchants and leaders either able to afford (C)such an investment or possessed of the imagination to understand (D)its value. The information to be found on the most useful maps produced throughout history has been, consequently, privileged, restricted, and thus tied to social and political power.
(A): the maps' : Is this also correct?
(B): maps : I think this should come as easy.
(C): Again, can we pinpoint the referent of this?
(D): the map's : I'm not sure about this...
Thank you so much for your time and trouble. I really appreciate it.
