Reading the passage
Gray's later work includes furniture fitted to particular interiors and houses whose storage, desks and tables are designed around their uses. We also know that she pursued an aesthetic through this work. For this support question, keep those established features in mind and check any broader claims against the text.
Working the answers
- A
The range of her work is a focus of this account, but that doesn't make it the primary basis of her reputation. The opening actually singles out lacquer as what she is best known for. Describing a varied career and explaining the source of someone's reputation are different claims.
- B
Designing something doesn't establish who built it. Gray could have had other people construct the furnishings, and we have no basis for the word “most.”
- C
Nothing tells us how Parisian society generally regarded wood as an artistic material.
- D
A hidden side of a panel doesn't mean the entire work was intended to stay out of public view. The lobby screen is a visible example, and we aren't given a count of intended audiences for her lacquer pieces.
- ECorrect
The furniture meets its occupants' needs, while its lines and materials also receive aesthetic attention. The houses similarly combine visual design with usable storage and adaptable furniture. Those examples support work that is functional as well as ornamental.
