Pooja is right--it is really the singular/plural mismatch that disqualifies "that" in (D). Something like "...bold designs such as those for the Guggenheim Museum, Fallingwater, and Price Tower..." would be OK in another context. Here, using "the one" is the best way to single out the Guggenheim as one example of the many bold designs.



Hi Emily,
Dont you think even B obscures the meaning here ?
for bold designs such as the one for the Guggenheim Museum
For the concise meaning it should rather read :
for bold designs such as those for the Guggenheim Museum


However I agree that the answer should be B as its the best among the lot.

Kindly correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks

I think B makes the meaning quite clear. What about it concerns you? You may also want to read Tim's post on the previous page.

Though Frank Lloyd Wright is best remembered today because of bold designs like the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, most of his buildings were intended to blend into their surroundings.

a) because of bold designs like the Guggenheim Museum
b) for bold designs such as the one for the Guggenheim Museum
c) because of bold designs such as the Guggenheim Museum
d) because of bold designs such as that for the Guggenheim Museum
e) for bold designs like the Guggenheim Museum's


According to the explanation, answer D has a relative pronoun 'that' which lacks an antecedent. Does the same apply to 'one' in answer B? Why is 'one' the better pronoun to use in this case? What is the difference between 'one' and other pronouns (that, it, etc.)


am i the only one that finds it strange that one of Frank's designs is INSIDE the Guggenheim Museum? The rest of the sentence hints that he designs buildings. I thought from a meaning point of view he would be an architect that designed a building, the guggenheim musem.

I chose C incorrectly ( i was not aware of remember idiom ).

Tim, i mean in the correct answer choice:

Though Frank Lloyd Wright is best remembered today for bold designs such as the one for the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, most of his buildings were intended to blend into their surroundings.

so Frank Lloyd created something for the Guggenheim museum, i assumed that if it was in a museum it would be inside the museum to be remembered, perhaps as an exhibit. Then later on it said his "buildings", so a building for the Guggenheim museum?

no, he made a design for the museum. that doesn't mean the design is an exhibit, that means he designed the museum itself..
