The architect's designs were celebrated for their _______ integration of form and function, with aesthetic choices that invariably served practical purposes rather than existing as mere decoration.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
seamless
accidental
obvious
superficial
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. The passage describes aesthetic choices serving practical purposes rather than being decorative. "Seamless" means smooth and continuous without awkward transitions, fitting this unified approach.
Choice B is incorrect because "accidental" contradicts deliberate design. Choice C is incorrect because "obvious" doesn't convey integration quality. Choice D is incorrect because "superficial" contradicts serving practical purposes.
