Question 7.
Which one of the following statements does not correctly express the similarity between the Ise Grand Shrine and the cathedral of Freiburg Minster?
Question Explanation
{The Ise Grand Shrine [in Japan] is 1,300 years old for the millions of Japanese people who go there on pilgrimage every year. But in reality this temple complex is completely rebuilt from scratch every 20 years. . . .}
While we know that the cathedral of Freiburg Minster is continually undergoing restoration, the same cannot be said about Ise Grand Shrine - we are told that it is rebuilt periodically, but there is no information not substantiate that it is being continually restored [at least in the same sense as that conveyed in the passage]. The idea of restoration is based on how these monuments are being rebuilt.
Hence, Option C is the correct choice.
