In 1931, Harry Beck, a temporary draftsman for the London Underground, proposed a radical new design for the transit system's map. Previously, maps of the network had adhered to geographic reality, plotting stations according to their actual physical locations above ground. This approach resulted in cluttered diagrams where central stations were squeezed into an unreadable knot, while peripheral stations lay far apart on the margins. Beck realized that passengers riding in windowless train cars did not need to know the physical distances above ground. Instead, he recognized that they only needed to know how to navigate the connections between stations. Beck's layout was based on electrical diagrams, which he drew in his spare time.
The writer wants to replace the underlined portion with a sentence that introduces Beck's design solution and emphasizes how it resolved the legibility issues of the previous maps. Which choice most effectively accomplishes this goal?
- AHe proposed a simplified schematic layout, it prioritized logical connections and resolved the central clutter of the older maps.
- BBeck worked on the map during a period of unemployment, though he was eventually paid a small fee for his efforts.
- CBecause he proposed a simplified schematic layout that prioritized logical connections, resolving the central clutter of the older maps.
- He proposed a simplified schematic layout that prioritized logical connections, resolving the central clutter of the older maps.Cevap
