Reading the passage
Our main-point prediction was an explanation of decline: the movement's rigid ideals conflicted with practical construction. The purpose should describe that work of explaining why the movement faltered.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
The account connects the decline to inflexible ideology, construction difficulties, and the costs of exposed structural materials. That's an analysis of the movement's failure to adapt, not a claim that it never achieved professional success.
- B
This looks backward at a decline and its causes. It doesn't forecast the movement's future course.
- C
The opening challenges the proponents' claim to fit modern methods, but the whole discussion isn't organized around correcting a particular misunderstanding. It explains the movement's decline.
- D
The writer presents criticisms as reasons for that decline. We aren't anticipating objections in order to defend the movement against them.
- E
Proponents' claims and the Postmodern observation differ, but the central job isn't comparing incompatible viewpoints. Those views contribute to the explanation of what went wrong.
