I understand the correct answer. However, it has not clicked why option A is wrong. Doesn't the argument presume that the components for the architectural style also have the same qualities. My reason is because, it conclusion is drawn form elements of both qualities, and concludes that those elements basically have the qualities of the style as a whole (beautiful and dramatic).

    A is kind of backwards. Its saying the argument is if an architectural style is beautiful and dramatic, its components must be beautiful and dramatic.

    The actual argument is since the components are collectively beautiful and dramatic, a style that combines the components is beautiful and dramatic. Part to whole flaw.
