Answer 1

Author's interpretation of oval office is Option B: The oval office is a significant symbol of the American presidency.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oval office is the private office of the president of the US. It is a large oval room in the White House. It was modeled by Wyeth. Here, the curved walls are inspired from the oval shape of the Blue Room, which was White House’s original oval shaped room. They chose it to be oval to create sufficient space for a formal reception. They call it “levee”. Out of the given options, Option B is what describes the author’s interpretation the best. He doesn’t say that it is most important room, or it has lessened in beauty and prestige with the changes. Nor does the author say that beauty has increased with the changes as per other given options.
