CAT Exam Review: Sentence Correction

Frank Lloyd Wright is best remembered for bold designs such as the one for the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, though most of his buildings were intended to blend into their surroundings. The passage provides an explanation for why one answer choice is correct in a multiple choice question about a statement on Frank Lloyd Wright. The correct choice replaces "because of" with "for," "like" with "such as," and clarifies that the design is "for" the museum rather than the museum itself.
