2. an example of a contrast between past and present approaches to building

Key words: contrast, past and present, building

In the passage, we should look for keywords that refer to the “past and present”, which

are the time milestones of building approaches. These are found in paragraph C, where

we find “medieval” and “now” in the same sentence; “medieval” describes those

approaches of the “past”, and “now” refers to the “present”. Therefore, while builders in

the past carried out construction through intimate knowledge and personal experience,

building designers at present rely on media technologies, unfortunately detaching

themselves from physical and social realities. Thus, C is the answer for this question.

 past = medieval

 present = now

→ Answer: C
