Complete Question Explanation
(See the complete passage discussion here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=14655)
Main Point. The correct answer choice is (A)
We see a Main Point question as the first to follow the passage, so we should prephrase an answer
and look for the answer choice that most closely aligns with our prephrase.
Answer choice (A): This is the correct answer choice. The author’s statements suggest that the
Modernists were too devoted to their ideology, and did not tend to incorporate practical considerations
into their designs.
Answer choice (B): The author suggests that the Modernist architects were not entirely rational with
respect to practical design, so this choice is incorrect.
Answer choice (C): In fact, Modernist architecture appears to have been highly incompatible with
modern construction methods of the time, so this response is contrary to the passage.
Answer choice (D): Since Modernist architecture was so inconsistent with modern construction
methods, it would not make sense to conclude that Modernist architecture came from those methods.
Answer choice (E): The passage offers a critique of the Modern Movement, but does not seek to explain
what proponents believed.
