Reading the passage
Wagner and the young Wright are examples of architects the Modernists claimed for their own story. Their modern features received attention; their other features didn't. We need the role these examples play, not a fact we might happen to know about either architect.
Working the answers
- A
We're not told how the public initially received these two architects' work. The sentence concerns how Modernism's proponents treated it.
- BCorrect
By drawing attention only to their modern features, the proponents presented these architects as representatives of the movement. That's the selective treatment the example illustrates; we don't need to establish that either architect personally accepted every Modernist principle.
- C
The text doesn't credit their work with increasing the movement's popularity. It says the movement was never very popular with the public, while describing its professional dominance separately. The example shows how proponents claimed these architects, not how they won public support.
- D
Nothing tells us how these two architects responded to clients. The earlier criticism of Modernist architects doesn't establish the opposite behavior for everyone else mentioned.
- E
Some features were ignored, but these men are introduced as innovators whose modern features were emphasized. They aren't examples of architects primarily dismissed for work that opposed Modernism.
