For question 2, the correct answer is c. Miniature paintings continued into the Romanesque period and were found in religious manuscripts.

To answer question 4, we can analyze the characteristics of each artist's style.
- Picasso is known for his use of abstract and fragmented forms, but he did not typically use small flat planes of colors to create a three-dimensional look.
- Van Gogh is known for his thick brushstrokes and expressive use of color, but his style does not focus on small flat planes of colors.
- Monet is known for his use of loose brushwork and color to capture light and atmosphere, but he also does not typically use small flat planes of colors.
- Cezanne, on the other hand, is known for his use of small flat planes of colors and geometric shapes to create a three-dimensional effect. Therefore, the correct answer is b. Cezanne.

To answer question 7, we can again analyze the artists mentioned.
- Van der Goes is a Flemish painter known for his meticulous attention to detail but did not create a fifteenth-century nativity painting that caused great excitement in the art world.
- Van Eyck is also a Flemish painter known for his meticulous detail and realistic style, and he did create a famous fifteenth-century nativity painting called "The Adoration of the Lamb." Therefore, the correct answer is b. Van Eyck.

For question 20, we need to understand the symbol and emblematic nickname of King Louis XIV.
- The Palace at Versailles was the famous royal residence and symbolized the aristocratic lifestyle of King Louis XIV, making it the correct answer. It was not, however, his nickname.
- Saint Paul's Cathedral and Notre Dame Cathedral are famous churches, but they do not directly symbolize King Louis XIV or his nickname.
- Mont Sainte-Victoire is a mountain in France that was painted by Cezanne, but it is not directly related to King Louis XIV or his nickname.
Therefore, the correct answer is a. The Palace at Versailles.
