Questions 15 to 17 refer to the passage below. For each question, select one answer choice, unless the instructions state otherwise.
The features that ultimately came to characterize Hawaiian-style building—which also included breezy lanais, generous overhanging eaves, and textured exterior surfaces—came about as the hold of the Big Five weakened. The Pan-Pacific movement was
5 gaining sway, and the polyglot population began finding its many voices and architectural idioms. Churches responded to the “one Blood” sentiment of many of their parishioners by constructing verandah-like lanais on either side of the naves that symbolically welcomed all believers. Architects of the time in general often blended Eastern and
10 Western styles, ushering in a pagoda, for example, to sit in for a bell tower in the task of calling the congregation to service. For a long time, Hawaiian-style building seemed to have little to do with the architectural tastes the Islands’ original settlers brought with them from the Marquesas Islands more than 800 years ago. For example,
15 the highly specialized skill needed to tightly weave the thatch that made their structures waterproof began disappearing in the 18th century, when the population declined by 90 percent, the result of diseases imported from Europeans. Evolving innovations, such as hipped roofs and airy lanais, had begun to make their appearance in
20 18th-century Hawaii just as the traditions that made them possible were being obliterated. It took longer than a century for some of the most fundamental aspects of Hawaiian architecture to find their way home again.
