  • Method of reasoning questions require describing how an argument is constructed, including its conclusion and evidence.
  • The conclusion is identified by the keyword 'thus', indicating a suggestion for change in how architectural awards are awarded.
  • Evidence is presented through comparisons between current practices in awarding the Pritzker Prize and the collaborative nature of architectural work, likening it to award practices in the film industry.
