Which one of the following ████████ █ ████ ██ █████████ ████ ███ ███████ ██ █ ███ ████ █████████ ██ ███ ███ ██ █████ ███████ █ ███ ███████ █ ███ ████████

a

a proposal from ██ █████████████ ████ █████████ ███ █ ███████ ███ ███ ████ ██████████████ ███ ███ ███████

The two documents are a proposal from an architecture firm and the details of the project that the firm is bidding on. This doesn’t involve one document with a general set of rules that governs what’s described in the other document.

Although the proposal is likely written in a way that meets the work specifications, the work specifications are not a general set of rules. They are specific details of a particular project. And, the details aren’t applied to the proposal. Instead, the proposal is a document written to target those details.

b

a magazine article ██████████ ██ ██████████ █████████████ ████████ ███ ███ ███ ██ █████ ████ ██████ ████████ ████████

The set of codes that govern building projects is like Passage B. And these codes apply to potential building projects – such as those described in the magazine article. That makes the magazine article like Passage A.

We should note that “innovative architectural proposals” don’t necessarily have to be “building projects.” So this answer isn’t a perfect analogy; we don’t know with certainty that the building codes apply to the architectural proposals. But this is the best answer. No other answer gives us one document that contains a general set of rules that can arguably apply to what’s described in the other document.

a newspaper account ██ ██ █████████ ███████ ███ █████████████ █████ ██ ████ ████████ ██ █ ████████ ███ █ ███████ ███ ███ ████ ██████████████ ███ ███ ███████

(C) doesn’t involve one document with a general set of rules. Work specifications for the project are a set of specific details for a particular project. They don’t set forth rules that we can apply to the agreement between two architectural firms. Rather, they set forth requirements for the project. Work proposals for that project will target those requirements; they will show how those requirements will be met.

a publicity brochure ██████████ ██ █████████████ ██████ ███ ███ ███ ██ ██████████ ███ ████ ███████

(D) doesn’t involve one document with a general set of rules. Neither the brochure nor the set of blueprints sets forth a general set of rules. The set of blueprints provides guidelines for one specific project (“that project”). And the publicity brochure doesn’t necessarily describe any rules for architects or others to follow.

e

a press release, ████ ███████ ██ ███ █████ ████ ████ ██████ ████████ ██ ██ █████████████ █████████ ██████████ ███ ████████ ██ ███████ █████ ███ ██ ████████ ██████████ ███████████ ████ ████ ██████ ███ ██████ ██ ███ ███████

The documents are a (1) press release about a proposal and, (2) an abstract conceptual description that will govern design of the project. What exactly is an abstract conceptual description that will govern design of the project? I’m thinking something like “a monument that conveys beauty and power.”

(2) is something that applies specifically to the architectural proposal described in (1). That’s not analogous to Passage A and Passage B, because Passage B did not specifically apply to the recovery of artifacts of the Sussex. Instead, Passage B set forth rules that would apply to any recovery of UCH.
