Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the options based on the question about how Roosevelt's criticism of artworks is supported by figurative language in the statement. We need to check which option relates to figurative language (like metaphors, personification, etc.) and its role in supporting his criticism. However, since the underlined statement's content isn't fully visible, we assume the correct option (let's say if the underlined part has a metaphor about "following the crowd" in art, then the option "Roosevelt suggests that following the crowd is a tendency in many facets of society, including art" would be correct as it interprets the figurative language about societal trends including art, supporting his criticism of artworks' quality or conformity).

If the figurative language relates to societal trends (like "following the crowd") including in art, the option about suggesting following the crowd is a tendency in society (including art) explains how his criticism (e.g., of unoriginal art) is supported by that figurative language (using the crowd metaphor to show art's conformity).

Answer:

Roosevelt suggests that following the crowd is a tendency in many facets of society, including art.
