Im just really confused please help

The passage suggests that great comic art can be characterized as optimistic about the ability of humans to:

(E) act rationally

Explanation:

Take a look at this sentence from the passage:

"The comic community to which artists address themselves is a community of reasoning, [...] who are willing to assume the human risks of acting rationally."

According to the author, comic art and artists are optimistic that human beings can act rationally, that they truly have the ability and trust to reason. Even though we like to think or ourselves as gods - infallible, all-knowing, divine -, comic art is able to see through this façade. The façade prevents us from reasoning, from recognizing our nature, but comic art rescues us from that lie.
