Answer:

The English were not as concerned with height.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main feature of English cathedrals straggle across their sites with dual transepts projecting strongly and the British cathedrals are their long length and their internal focus upon the horizontal.

You can say french architecture is the predecessor of the British architecture the Britishers succeeded to create on its own.

The main feature of French Cathedrals was highly influenced by the vertical impression and height. they are compact with slight or no projection of the transepts.

The correct answer is “the English were not as concerned with height”

Both English and French Gothic churches were constructed of stone masonry with pointed arches and ribbed vaults. English Gothic cathedrals tend to be longer and smaller and symmetrical. They were noted for the decreased emphasis placed on flying buttresses. But French Gothic style opted for height over form and asymmetrical style.
