The town's bus station is often called an eyesore, and so it is. But it was built in 1963 as a covered interchange for a fleet three times the size of today's, and everything people dislike about it -- the height, the long concrete canopies, the width of the stands -- follows directly from that job. Judged as a piece of architecture it fails. Judged as an answer to the question it was actually asked, it is rather good.

Which one of the following most accurately expresses the main point of the passage?

AA station of this kind could not be built in the town today, now that the fleet is a third of the size it was, and nobody would want one if it could.

BBuildings should not be judged as architecture, but by how well they serve the purpose they were built for.

CThe town's bus fleet is now a third of the size it was in 1963, when the station was built to serve it.

DThe town's bus station is an eyesore, and the features people dislike about it -- the height, the long concrete canopies, the width of the stands -- are exactly what make it one.

EThe bus station is better judged by the purpose it was built in 1963 to serve than by the architectural standards under which it fails.
