Question

The Ransom Center has been compared to a tomb, a fort, and a bank. It is one of the world's greatest cultural museums, but it has few admirers. Many people think the center is an ugly, unfriendly looking place. That will soon change, though. The Ransom Center is undergoing $14 million worth of improvements. The changes should make the Ransom Center easier to use and nicer to look at. The improvements should also bring more visitors. In the last ten years, only 10,000 people each year have visited the building.
Many things will change at the Ransom Center. More windows will be added to make the building less dark and crowded. There will be a 125-seat theater and three display rooms for viewing rare collections. The reading room will be larger, better lighted, and easier to use. The reading room is the most important new section as far as most people are concerned. That is because the Ransom Center is home to over 40 million rare books, manuscripts, photographs, and artworks.

A.

D.
changes being made to the Ransom Center.
