How was Neoclassical architect Thomas Jefferson inspired by Classical architecture when planning his plantation home Monticello? (Points : 3) He used a similar portico, columns, and dome. He constructed it using concrete for unobstructed interior views. He used an asymmetric plan with complex features. He included relief sculptures of Roman gods in the pediment.

  1. The first one is right, portico, columns and dome. Have a look. http://www.google.com.au/images?hl=en&q=monticello&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1280&bih=620 Elimination of other answers; Brick not concrete Is more symmetrical than not, and the floor plan is quite simple The pediment has a half-oval window in it, not sculptures.
