Answer:

C. The first significant project for Pei was the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. From there, he designed the East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

D. He designed the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, and the somber Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. In addition, he traveled to Qatar to design the Museum of Islamic Art and worked in Japan for the Miho Museum and China for the Suzhou Museum

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the following options tell us about I.M. Pei's achievements. An important part of the original statement, though, is diverse in his talents. It means that Pei has created many different buildings. Statements C and D are the best proof of that. He has designed research centers, art galleries, halls of fame, museums. Statement A simply tells us about his importance, B about his personal life, and E about his awards.

Thus, the correct options are C and D.
