Intro topic Β·the Modern Movement in architecture
Supporters of the movement said Modernist stuff reflected modern technology and the newest building methods better than older architecture styles. But, it didn't fit how buildings were actually made.
Additional important factor Β·Construction industry became more specialized and fragmented
This meant an architect's design had to allow for a bunch of different operations. But Modernist designs wanted to expose the structural materials of the building, which was difficult and expensive to do when so many different construction operations were involved.
Author's perspective Β·Modern Movement declined because of its ideal of exposing structural elements

Question Type
Authorβs attitude
Implied
Whatβs the authorβs attitude toward the proponents? The author has a negative attitude toward them. We know this because the author criticizes the proponentsβ construction philosophy at the end of the passage: βAs Postmodern architects recognized, the need to expose structural elements imposed unnecessary limitations on building design. The unwillingness of architects of the Modern Movement to abandon their ideals contributed to the decline of interest in the Modern Movement.β
a
forbearing
This doesnβt fit, because we donβt have any evidence the author is patient or restrained regarding the proponents.
b
defensive
The author isnβt defensive toward the proponents; she openly criticizes them.
c
unimpressed
This is the best answer. The author thinks their construction and design philosophy caused their own downfall. Their philosophy didnβt fit with the way construction actually worked. Also, the author doesnβt identify anything positive about the proponentsβ philosophy.
d
exasperated
The author doesnβt express intense irritation or frustration. The proponents already failed β the passage merely reports the causes of their failure. But thereβs nothing to be frustrated or irritated about, since the proponentsβ philosophy has already declined.
e
indifferent
This doesnβt fit, because the author does show a distaste for the proponentsβ philosophy. She points out that their philosophy involved βunnecessary limitations on building design.β Indifference requires a more neutral attitude.
