ANSWERS); ALREADY GRADED A+
13 black-and-white photographs, all in frames of different
styles and colors, are grouped on a wall that is painted a
light, cool gray. Which design principle does this
illustrate?
A.) Variety
B.) Rhythm
C.)Contrast
D.) Focus - correct answer- A.
The different frames years against the neutral wall
illustrate variety. Rhythm is incorrect because the
question does not see the photographs are arranged in a
regular pattern. Contrast is incorrect because no single
framed photograph would be different enough from the
rest to create a significant contrast. Focus is incorrect
because if all the frames are different, no single one
dominates.
,A client complains that her office is too hot. The interior
designer could most easily and economically improve the
situation by suggesting an accessory that affects
A.) Convection
B.) Ventilation
C.) Evaporation
D.) Conduction - correct answer- C.
A simple table fan is the simplest and most economical
suggestion to make. Creating air movement would
increase evaporation from a person skin, thereby cooling
it.
A compact filling system is an example of a
A.)Dead load
B.) Dynamic load
C.) Lateral load
D.) Live load - correct answer- D. Live load.
Live loads include the loads of people, furniture, snow,
and equipment.
,A composition of furniture and architectural elements is

used by people with a wide variety of physical abilities
and limitations steps are also dangerous for servers caring
food.
A designer uses the principle of harmony in order to
A.) Develop visual consistency and equilibrium among
individual elements
B.) elicit compositional unity from different elements
C.) Establish two elements as more important than the
others in a composition.
D.) Provide variation in the elements of a composition -
correct answer- B.
Harmony is used to create a feeling of compositional unity
from elements that are different from one another.
A new office suite is planned for the fifth floor of the
