Text 1The building that houses the controversial new J Paul Getty Museum is a re-creation of the Villa dei Papyri in Herculaneum, near Pompeii, which was destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in A.D. 79. A criticism of the building holds that while it is permissible for a museum to be a work of art, the Getty building fails miserably as art because it is neither tastefully conceived nor accurately reproduced. “It is a faithful replica of nothing that ever existed,” wrote architecture critic John Pastier.Text 2For the first two months or so, the J. Paul Getty Museum building was called “controversial” in many Art World (or should I say Artsy-Craftsy?) quarters. As the benefactor who funded this project, I have a fortunate capacity to remain unruffled. I also have had enough experience in many areas of life to know that the shrillest critics are not necessarily the most authoritative (and seldom the most objective). Beyond this, the very shrillness of their cries and howls very quickly exhausts their wind.9 Mark For Review9Based on the texts, what would be the author of Text 2’s prediction about the authors of the criticism referred to in Text 1? A) Unless they offer more constructive advice, they will lose the chance to contribute. B) Unless they start to conform more closely to public opinion, they will lose their audience. C) Although they are very loud, their influence will be short-lived. D) Since they are taken seriously by the art world, they will continue to influence museum design.

Every day, visitors to the city of Pompeii, Italy, walk through history. The site includes ancient Roman buildings, artwork, and common items. Some are over 2,000 years old. How is this possible? In 79 CE, a nearby volcano suddenly erupted. It scattered ash and stone into the air. Pompeii was buried. However, this protected the city from damage and stealing. Hundreds of years later, scientists discovered Pompeii. They carefully dug through the ash. Underneath, they found a perfect Roman city.

Buried by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 B.C.E., the city of Pompeii was perfectly preserved under mounds of ash and rock. Due to its preservation, Pompeii has become an incredibly important tool through which archeologists can learn about Roman life in the 1st century B.C.E. After excavating a bakery in Pompeii, archaeologists found a small room containing chained-up humans and donkeys.
