Reading the passage
This asks which question the information helps answer. We have details about lacquer's layers, Gray's preferences, her furniture and her houses. We don't have a complete history of lacquer or every reason behind her material choices. An answer must ask for information we can actually supply.
Working the answers
- A
Lacquer was little known in Europe when Gray studied it. That doesn't tell us when it first became known there. Something can remain uncommon long after its arrival.
- B
Wood is mentioned, but no species of wood is identified as best. We cannot choose between oak, cherry or any other type from this account.
- CCorrect
The first paragraph contrasts the flowing, leafy lines of Art Nouveau with the straight lines and simple forms that suited Gray's lacquer work. That comparison helps answer the question: the artistic motifs are presented as different, not similar.
- D
We learn how Gray connected interiors with exteriors, but not how the surrounding landscape influenced her architecture. The inside-outside relationship alone doesn't answer a question about the building site.
- E
Tubular steel is a material she used, but the question asks for more: superior structural strength and a decorative interaction with another material. Neither specific reason is supplied. Recognizing a material in an answer isn't enough to establish all the properties the answer asks about.
