The document contains multiple choice questions about Gothic and Romanesque architecture. Gandhiji was referring to the grandeur of Gothic cathedrals like Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Romanesque architecture developed in the 11th-12th centuries and was characterized by thick walls, round arches and heavy, solid appearances. It served as a stepping stone to Gothic architecture, which had innovations like pointed arches, ribbed vaults and flying buttresses that allowed for larger windows and a sense of verticality.
