Answer 1

The summary that accurately describes the way Monticello came about and changed is A. After his father left him with an inheritance of land, Jefferson developed an interest in architecture and built Monticello. After living in France, he made changes to the home to reflect French architecture.

Monticello is described by Thomas Jefferson as his "essay in architecture."  It was built and redesigned while Jefferson was acting as an ambassador to France.  This exposure in France enabled him to embed European architectural masterpieces in the Virginia world heritage building.

Jefferson did not inherit Monticello from his father.  Monticello was not built after Jefferson had left politics.  It was not built after he drafted the Declaration of Independence.

Thus, Monticello was designed and constructed when Jefferson was acting as the ambassador to France.
