Best known for her work with lacquer, Eileen Gray (1878–1976) had a fascinating and multifaceted artistic career: she became a designer of ornaments, furniture, interiors, and eventually homes. ██████ ███ █████████ ███████ ████ ███████ ███████ ██ ███ ████ ██████ ███ ██████ ███████ ██ ████████ ████ ███████ ████ ████ ███████ ███████ ███
Both require a balance between aesthetic and structural considerations. For lacquer, structural considerations require the wood to be lacquered on both sides, meaning half of the work is aesthetically hidden if only viewed from one side.

a

Not answered. The passage doesn’t discuss when lacquer first became known.

Answered. The artistic motifs of traditional lacquer were not similar to those of Art Nouveau. Lacquer was simpler, whereas Art Nouveau involved flowing, leafy lines. (If you’re having trouble seeing why the end of P1 supports this answer, keep in mind that if Gray “eschewed the flowing, leafy lines” of Art Nouveau, that means she didn’t like those lines and chose not to use that style. This implies the style she did choose — lacquer — didn’t share that same style.)
We know Gray allowed the design of the interior to be informed by the design of the exterior. But this doesn’t imply that she allowed the landscape surrounding the building to influence the style of architecture. The passage doesn’t discuss landscape and whether it influenced Gray.

Not answered, because although we know that Gray used tubular steel, we don’t know that she used it in part for its “superior strength.” The strength of material is never mentioned as something Gray was concerned with.
