The year 2009 marks the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. The museum was bui

lt as a place to display abstract art, and the architect of the museum was Frank Lloyd Wright, America’s most famous architect. Fifty years later, the museum is still a singular icon in a city considered by most to be America’s most artistic city. Wright died at the age of 92, six months before the Guggenheim opened. He had spent the last 16 years of his life working on the spectacular museum.
The Guggenheim Museum is one of Wright’s most recognizable works. It is shaped as the upper two-thirds of an ice cream cone with a spiral groove running downward from the top. The spiral is a part of the building’s construction. Inside the museum, the spiral takes the form of a ramp running from the top of the building to the bottom. Guests walk around and around, downward, looking at art hung along the walls all the while. Wright’s goal was for guests to view art and simultaneously see where they were going and where they’d come from.
On the 50th anniversary of the Guggenheim Museum, art lovers can take a moment to pause and think about two icons: the museum itself and its creator. Rarely has a building been so controversial and so popular. The Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and modern art on view at the Guggenheim truly has one of the world's greatest homes for artwork.

Which sentence from the second paragraph supports the paragraph's main idea that "The Guggenheim Museum is one of Wright's most recognizable works"?

A. "Inside the museum, the spiral takes the form of a ramp running from the top of the building to the bottom."

B. "Wright's goal was for guests to view art and simultaneously see where they were going and where they'd come from."

C. "It is shaped as the upper two-thirds of an ice cream cone with a spiral groove running downward from the top."

D. "Guests walk around and around, downward, looking at art hung along the walls all the while."

In her book Gift from the Sea, author and aviator Anne Morrow Lindbergh (1906–2001) writes, "We tend not to choose the unknown w
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Lindbergh book was a chance for women to think outside the box, in 1950.

She instigates the reader to confront the unknow, so that he or she can experience new things.

Explanation:

In her book Lindbergh talks about relationships, specially marriage, and how women could be more than just a housewife, and how would be healthier for married people to be able to develop their own individuality.

When she instigates the reader to confront the unknown, it is a powerful and positive thing to do, because when we explore new things our lives change. Our horizon expands and our minds become more inclined to accept new things.

The unknown might seen a little bit unconfortable in the beginning, but then, it shifts us. Narrowmind thoughts are no longer allowed and we are suddenly susceptible to new points of view. For instance, a very simple example is a place or city that you had never being before, in the first moment you might not like it, but as soon as you start exploring, knowing and learning about it, you will be surprised with the amount of great stuff you will experience.

The best conclusion is Lindbergh conclusion, "the unknown is not to be feared". She is right. We should be delighted by the unknown, the expectations, the mistery behind it. That is the beauty of life. That is what makes life spontaneous and amazing. We never have the same day twice.
