"Much" is a relative term, dtodaizzle. What you are thinking of is the word "most", which means more than half. Much just means, well, a lot. How much is a lot? I have no idea! Here, what we learned about Gray's later work in architecture was focused almost entirely on the functional aspects, so while it's possible that functionality played only a small part in that part of her career, it sure seems like it was a big part. That's what allows us to say we have support for it, and most importantly we have more support for that claim than we have for any of the other answers.
Here's an example: Much of my time is spent sleeping. I don't think it's any where near half of my lifetime, maybe more like 1/4 (I sleep about 6 hours a night, give or take), but that's still a lot. It's still "much", in my opinion. I would not say that most of my time is spent sleeping, of course, because it is much less than half.
Beware of other relative terms that cannot so easily be quantified, like "many" and "few". We can't put numbers on those, but we can consider them in relative terms and in a more holistic way.
Keep at it!
