Any help is appreciated!
What are Pendentives?
A)Free standing pillars
B)Semicircular arches
C)Octagonal lintels
D)Hemispherical dome
I'm not sure about this one. They are not A because they were not freestanding. D could be right because I've seen them described in such a way, but they weren't exactly domes. C could also be right because lintels are things that held up a structure, as did pendentives, but they weren't octagonal. So I would probably go with B.
The art that was practiced throughout Medieval Period was:
A)manuscript illumination
B)stained glass art
C)icon painting
D)wood carving
A
The following are the features of an ambulatory EXCEPT:
A)a walkway surrounding the church
B)contained niches with relics
C)allowed pilgrims to visit without disturbing the rituals
D)gave structural stability to the architecture
D
I agree with your answers.

Great! Thank you!
Can you help with one more thing?
The features of mosaic art include the following EXCEPT:
A)background is naturalistic
B)figures usually have stiff and stylized gestures
C)outlines are made clear and bold
D)the overlapping of figures is avoided
B
I disagree with your last one.
Well if that is not the answer then it would have to be A because C and D kind of go hand and hand.
Yes, you're right.

There's nothing "naturalistic" about cement or mortar! Those are man-made things.
Yes, that makes sense. Thank you!
You're welcome.
Pendentives are curved triangular structures that help transition from a square or rectangular base to a dome or circular structure. To answer the question, we can eliminate options A and C because pendentives are not freestanding pillars or octagonal lintels. Option D could be a potential answer because pendentives are often described in relation to domes, but they themselves are not hemispherical domes. That leaves us with option B, semicircular arches. Pendentives are indeed curved and help create a transition from a square or rectangular base to a dome or circular feature, making option B the correct answer.
The art that was practiced throughout the Medieval Period includes manuscript illumination, stained glass art, icon painting, and wood carving. To answer the question, we need to identify which of the options aligns with the art practices of the Medieval Period. Option A, manuscript illumination, is correct because it involves the creation of highly detailed and decorative illustrations in manuscripts during this time.
For the features of an ambulatory, we need to identify the incorrect option. An ambulatory is a walkway surrounding a church that allows pilgrims to visit without disturbing rituals and often contains niches with relics. To find the incorrect option, we can analyze each one. Option A is correct because an ambulatory does have a walkway surrounding the church. Option B is also correct because ambulatories often contain niches with relics. Option C is also correct because an ambulatory does indeed allow pilgrims to visit without disturbing the rituals. That leaves us with option D, which states that an ambulatory gives structural stability to the architecture. This is not a feature of an ambulatory, so option D is the incorrect answer.
