Question

the two main architectural systems of frame construction are
a. the skeleton and the post - and lintel.
b. the materials and the truss.
c. the design and the architect.
d. the shell and the skeleton.

please select the best answer from the choices provided

a
b
c
d

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The skeleton (a type of frame structure) and post - and - lintel (a basic framing system) are both architectural systems of frame construction.
• Option B: Materials are the substances used in construction, not a frame construction system, and truss is a part of frame systems but paired with materials which is incorrect.
• Option C: Design is the process of creating a plan, and an architect is a professional, neither are frame construction systems.
• Option D: Shell is a different type of structural system (enclosing space with a curved surface), not a frame construction system, while skeleton is a frame system. So pairing shell with skeleton is incorrect.

Answer:

D. the shell and the skeleton
