This question checks whether you can link four architectural styles to their most famous built example. Instead of matching each style first, we can scan the four given options and eliminate them using just one or two known facts.
- Option (A): P-1, Q-3, R-4, S-5: this puts Baroque with Hagia Sophia (P-1), which is wrong because Hagia Sophia is Byzantine, not Baroque. Eliminated.
- Option (B): P-4, Q-1, R-2, S-5: Baroque with Palace of Versailles (correct), Byzantine with Hagia Sophia (correct), Art Deco with Chrysler Building (correct), Art Nouveau with Sagrada Familia (correct). Every pair checks out.
- Option (C): P-4, Q-5, R-2, S-1: this sends Byzantine to Sagrada Familia (Q-5), which is wrong since Sagrada Familia is Art Nouveau, and Art Nouveau to Hagia Sophia (S-1), also wrong. Eliminated.
- Option (D): P-2, Q-1, R-5, S-3: this sends Baroque to the Chrysler Building (P-2), which is wrong since the Chrysler Building is Art Deco, not Baroque. Eliminated.
Only option (B) survives this check, with the pairing P - 4, Q - 1, R - 2, S - 5. Knowing even two of the four buildings (Versailles for Baroque and Hagia Sophia for Byzantine) is enough to reject options (A), (C) and (D) outright.
Let's summarize:
- Baroque goes with the Palace of Versailles, a grand symmetrical palace with heavy ornament
- Byzantine goes with Hagia Sophia, a great masonry dome on pendentives
- Art Deco goes with the Chrysler Building, a stepped geometric skyscraper crown
- Art Nouveau goes with the Sagrada Familia, built from organic, plant-like forms
So the correct match is P - 4, Q - 1, R - 2, S - 5, option (B).
