Answer to Question 1

Answer: a

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The architects established a sense of connection and discontinuity between the two parts, that is, the two towers that constitute the building. One tower looks like it is leaning, while the other tower looks like it is holding up the first tower. The towers appear to be dancing together. They are not meant to blend into a harmonious whole but rather emphasize change and variety.
