Task 9.Cross out the wrong word.

Wren's plan for London

In 1666 Wren's plan for the reconstruction/demolition of St. Paul's Cathedral in London was rejected/accepted. Just six days later the Great Fire of London took matters out of Wren's hands by destroying/constructing the cathedral completely. Within days of the fire Wren presented a plan to Charles for extinguishing/rebuilding the entire city of London along classical lines, with broad/narrow tree-lined avenues cutting through the former warren of twisting streets and alleys. Such a drastic occupation/renovation was not surprisingly rejected, but Wren was appointed/astonished to be one of the architectural commissioners overseeing the rebuilding of the city. In this capacity Wren designed/engulfed and supervised the rebuilding of 51 city churches over the next 46 years. Each church was different, though all were classical in style.
