When referring to objects, would you always use 'el' instead of 'lo'?
Why doesn't "Lo de estilo victoriano me parece más valioso" work?

El / Lo

Hola Dan
The hint indicates that the speaker is referring to a singular masculine object. In this case, the correct answer is "El de" because the speaker refers to a particular item with Victorian style.
However, "Lo de" is incorrect in this context because it refers to an abstract concept or characteristic, not a specific object.
I hope this clarifies the correct usage.
Feel free to ask if you have more questions!
