SAT English QUESTION #5355
Question 1
Bosco Verticale, a residential complex in Milan featuring towers covered in plants, has been a symbol of green architecture since 2014. Architect Stefano Boeri designed it to promote urban biodiversity. However, critics are cautious; they point out that even though the trees were specially grown for this project, it is still uncertain if they will be able to survive in such an atypical environment. According to the text, why are some critics skeptical of the concept behind Bosco Verticale?
  • Some essential aspects of Bosco Verticale's design are difficult to adapt to locations other than Milan.
  • The plant life on Bosco Verticale ended up being less varied than Boeri had envisioned it would be.
  • The construction of Bosco Verticale was no less environmentally damaging than the construction of more conventional buildings is.
  • It is unclear whether Bosco Verticale can support the plant life included in its design.✔️
Correct Answer Explanation
The text states that critics aren't sure if the trees can 'thrive in this unusual setting,' which matches option D.
