4. To answer the question about which of the following has a surface covered with coffers, you can eliminate option A, "Bath," as you mentioned. Now, let's look at the remaining options: Apse, Dome, and Arch.
To determine the correct answer, you need to understand what coffers are. Coffers are sunken panels, often square or polygonal, usually seen on ceilings or vaults. They provide a decorative and architectural element.
From the remaining options, both Apse and Dome can have surfaces covered with coffers. An apse is a semi-circular recess, often found in the architectural design of Christian churches. A dome, on the other hand, is a rounded vault forming the roof of a building or structure.
Therefore, the correct answer could be either Apse or Dome.
9. To answer the question about which art piece exemplifies the Hellenistic style, you have four options: Seated Boxer, geometric cases, Kouros, and Classical.
To determine the correct answer, you need to understand what the Hellenistic style represents. The Hellenistic period refers to the time after the death of Alexander the Great when Greek culture stretched across the lands he conquered. Art from this period often featured dramatic and realistic depictions of human emotions, nature, and complex compositions.
From the options, both Seated Boxer and Kouros can be seen as examples of Hellenistic art. However, geometric cases and Classical do not represent the Hellenistic style.
Therefore, the correct answer could be either Seated Boxer or Kouros.
15. To determine which part of a temple might contain relief sculptures, you have four options: capital and column, pediment and lintel, frieze and pediment, and stylobate and lintel.
To correctly answer this question, you need to understand the different architectural elements of a temple and where relief sculptures are commonly found. Relief sculptures are typically found on flat or slightly projecting surfaces of walls, friezes, or pediments.
From the options, the combination of frieze and pediment is most likely to contain relief sculptures on a temple.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C, frieze and pediment.
16. To determine the term for the center aisle of a Roman meeting place, you have four options: Basilisca, Nave, Arch, and Apse.
To find the correct answer, you need to understand the architectural terminology and the features of a Roman meeting place. In this context, a nave is the central part of a church building, extending from the main entrance or narthex to the chancel or sanctuary.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B, Nave.
20. To identify the best-known ruler during the revival of Sumerian culture, you have four options: Gudea, Hammurabi, Ziggurat, and Paleolithic.
To answer this question, you need to recall historical figures associated with the revival of Sumerian culture and determine the ruler who is most commonly known from that period.
Among the options, Gudea is the ruler most closely associated with the revival of Sumerian culture after the Akkadian dominance.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A, Gudea.
21. The statement that the most impressive relief sculptures were done by the Assyrians is true.
