Q13

[b.lin.22.13]

I originally chose D but now see that there's no support that Gray deliberated juxtaposed austere elements with gracefully ornate ones to achieve artistic effects.

A is wrong because Gray doesn't apply lacquering techniques on non-traditional materials. Instead, in line 47, you see the passage make the connection between Gray's work with lacquer and her architecture. She doesn't actually try to paint layers onto brick and steel as stated in answer choice A.

Also the passage name is a little misleading. It's titled "Park Rangers" for me.

Thanks ... we knew about that error and had supposedly fixed it, but it looks like it's only fixed for Psg 1.

(All the RC psgs had the names for Games on this test, and vice versa)

Is A wrong because while the passage does mention lacquering on bricks (Line 32), there is no mention of steel?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Paragraph 2 talks about the "tension" (line 20-21) which gives Gray's work an "ARCHITECTURAL QUALITY". It makes NO mention of any "nontraditional" material for lacquering. The ONLY material it mentions is wood (line 19), but the passage makes NO indication whether that’s a traditional or nontraditional material.

What line 32 talks about an example of how through the "lacquered screen" the wall “visually disintegrate into panels of lacquered bricks" (line 31-32), thereby giving the screen an “architectural element” (line 34). The "lacquered screen" decorates the wall, and the “brick” is how THE WALL appears through the "lacquered screen", it is NOT a material used for lacquering.

Line 38 mentions “tubular steel”, which Gray uses as a material to create “FURNITURE” and “ENVIRONMENT” (line 38), again, it’s NOT mentioned as a material for lacquering.

Hope this helps.
