Didn't you read Bobpursley's answer?

Yes, but that doesn't answer the rest of my questions.

Is it possible he only comment on the answer he thought was wrong?

I don't know about 9, but 17 and 21 are correct.

I think 9 is D. and 22 is true because architects have to be math experts but I'm probably wrong.

9. To determine the correct answer, we need to analyze the features mentioned: easily understood symbols, illumination, and colorful shapes.

a. Paintings from the Gothic period: Gothic art is characterized by intricate detail, stained glass windows, and a focus on religious themes. While there may be easily understood symbols and illumination, colorful shapes are not as prominent in Gothic paintings.

b. Paintings from the Romanesque period: Romanesque art is characterized by stylized forms, simple compositions, and a lack of vibrant colors. Therefore, colorful shapes are not commonly found in Romanesque paintings.

c. Islamic art: Islamic art often features easily understood symbols, intricate patterns, and vibrant colors. Illumination is also commonly found in Islamic manuscripts. Therefore, this option aligns with the mentioned features.

d. Paintings done by monks: This option may not be suitable as there is no specific art style associated with paintings done by monks, and the features mentioned are not necessarily characteristic of their work.

Therefore, the correct answer to question 9 is c. Islamic art.

17. The question mentions sculptures found in a Romanesque church and how they are sometimes called.

a. Bibles in Stone: This option could be a suitable term to describe the sculptures as they can often depict biblical scenes or stories in stone.

b. Minaret: Minaret refers to a tall, slender tower commonly found in Islamic architecture and used for the call to prayer. This term is not applicable to this context.

c. Illuminated manuscripts: Illuminated manuscripts are books decorated with elaborate illustrations and illuminations, which is not directly related to sculptures in this context.

d. Psalters: Psalters are books containing the biblical book of Psalms. While they may include illustrations, this term is not directly related to sculptures.

Therefore, the correct answer to question 17 is a. Bibles in Stone.

21. The statement "Gothic style churches were not limited to France" is a positive statement. To determine if it is true or false, we need to look for evidence or examples that support or contradict this statement. Without further information, we cannot definitively determine the accuracy of this statement.

22. To determine the accuracy of the statement about architects and mathematicians involved in designing the dome of the Hagia Sophia, we need to refer to credible sources. Since your book states that "Two math experts designed it," it suggests that it was not designed by architects. Therefore, the statement seems to be false based on the information provided in your book.

However, for accurate and authoritative information, you may want to refer to reliable sources such as historical records, architectural studies, or expert opinions to get a definitive answer.

I hope this helps!
