39-41 Listen to part of a talk in an architecture class

I’d like to share with you today my experience with a new approach to building a house. It’s called laceName w:st="on">EnvelopelaceName> laceType w:st="on">BuildinglaceType>. Essentially, what it means is that as you are building a house, you try to leave the landscape feature on the land, especially the vegetation in the original condition. So what you are not doing is the usual practice of land scraping. By which I mean literally scraping or cleaning the land of any and all the original plants. Why is the approach called laceName w:st="on">EnveloplaceName> laceType w:st="on">BuildinglaceType>? Because instead of clearing everything away, you let your original landscape elements envelop or surround your house. Let the vegetation physical features such as hills and slopes or interesting rock formations, constituted a significant part of the character of the building sight. The design of the house should take these features of the property into account. Actually integrating your original wild landscape with a house is not that new. The famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright was doing it about 65 years ago. So we are in good company. laceName w:st="on">EnvelopelaceName> Building is not as easy as it sounds though. It’s not just that you build your house and leave the land alone. By building, you are already damaging the original landscape. But as architects, we should try to work with environment, not against it. A creative architect can find ways to incorporate natural landscape into the overall design. For example, why it used the massive boulders on the side of one of the most famous houses as part of the house foundation?

41 Why does the professor mention the architect Frank Lloyd Wright?

A. Because many architects studied with Wright

B. Because Wright started the practice of "land-scraping"

C. Because Wright used elements of envelope building

D. Because most of the houses Wright build were made of stone

答案是B

但是我覺得有問題

應該把landscaping 換成 envelop building吧?

請教各位高手 麻煩解答 謝謝各位

同意c:

land-scaping 应该是wright反对的，这篇的第一题不是说land-scaping就是要eliminating the original vegetation 吗，而作者恰恰是反对这种做法，继而又提出wright 也是enveloping 一派的
