Hi,

I am not 100% sure whether my explanation would help, but let me try.

When I went back to this question, I was definitely left with choice C and E.

As we always have to choose best choice among all, I decided to compare the two.

To me, C and E were virtually saying the same thing; however, what led me to choose E in the end was the word "context" on choice C.

The word "context" is prone to interpretation and I considered "... that entertain a broad audience" as a manner in which the materials are presented.

Hence, in the end, I reasoned E as a better answer.

Also, this is combined priniciple(support) and NA, so I think negation test would not necessarily be the best method.

Hello!

I may not be perfect with my explanation, but I will try my best to work this out for you.

So, the premise...

To be inviting and functional for public use, architecture must be unobtrusive

meaning that architecture should not over take the environment which it belongs to

Unfortunately, selfish modern architects have violated such perception.

The works of these selfish modern architects built works which are not functional for public use.

Logic here is that,

Unobtrusive -> inviting + functional

Not inviting or not functional or both -> obtrusive

Modern architect -> not inviting -> obtrusive

This leads to inference that ...

Modern architect -> obtrusive

This is what answer choice B tells us.

Hope this helps!

Okay, let me try to explain this for you.

The argument in this question is basically committing the given flaw:

Let's say that you fall from a stair and went to examine whether your knees are okay.

You went to one hospital and x-rayed and it says that you are fractured.

And then you went to another hospital and MRIed and it says that your knees are just okay.

In such case, you would not conclude that 'oh, they say two different things because they used two differ that examining machines!'

You would visit another doctor or try to see whether there is any flaw in examining machines which were used.

Likely, the author in this argument is overlooking the possibility that despite of the difference in the methods, two methods may come to the same conclusion or either one was conducted in a mistaken manner.

If we look at the individual answe choices:

(A) It is irrelvant

(B) No such flaw

(C) It is tempting, but it is inadequate.

(D) correct answer

(E) Out of scope

I hope this helps!
