Explanation:

In paragraph 7, the author says that when a culture is in a state of disintegration (insecure), the freedom of the artist increases. That proves that option 1 is true and that option 2 (whose idea is opposite to that of option 1) is contradictory to the passage.
In paragraph 6, the author puts forth this idea that in secure cultures the artist is unlikely to be a free agent and that he will be employed for sake of particular subjects. That negates option 3.
Option 4 cannot be substantiated from the passage.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
