Classic GMAT trap.
#1 rule of GMAT RC is avoid options that are too extreme unless specifically written in the passage.
The passage talks about Shaw's view of art, of the position of morality in art, so it must be very important to him. But is it written anywhere that it's the most important? No!

9.As it is revealed in the passage, the author’s attitude toward Shaw can best be described as
(A) condescending
(B) completely neutral
(C) approving
(D) envious
(E) adulatory
