well,in those days, math experts were building designers also. 22> I rate as true.
9. To determine the correct answer for question 9, we need to consider the features described in the question: easily understood symbols, illumination, and colorful shapes. One way to find the correct answer is by eliminating the options that do not fit these features.
a. Paintings from the Gothic period: Gothic art is characterized by intricate and detailed designs, but it does not necessarily emphasize easily understood symbols, illumination, or colorful shapes. Therefore, we can eliminate this option.
b. Paintings from the Romanesque period: Romanesque art often features simple and bold shapes, but it does not typically emphasize easily understood symbols or illumination. Therefore, we can eliminate this option.
c. Islamic art: Islamic art often includes easily understood symbols, intricate illumination, and colorful geometric shapes. This makes it a strong contender for the correct answer.
d. Paintings done by monks: While some paintings done by monks may exhibit easily understood symbols and illumination, this option is too broad and does not specifically fit the features mentioned in the question.
From this analysis, we can conclude that the correct answer is (c) Islamic art.
17. In question 17, the sculptures found in a Romanesque church are being referred to. The question suggests that these sculptures are sometimes called "Bibles in Stone." To find the correct answer, we can cross-check the options:
a. Bibles in Stone: This option matches the description given in the question, so it is likely to be the correct answer.
b. Minaret: Minarets are tall towers typically found in Islamic architecture, so this option can be eliminated.
c. Illuminated manuscripts: Illuminated manuscripts are handwritten books decorated with intricate designs, but they do not match the description of sculptures in a Romanesque church. Therefore, we can eliminate this option.
d. Psalters: Psalters are books containing the Book of Psalms, but they are not specifically related to sculptures. Hence, we can eliminate this option.
By this process, we can conclude that the correct answer is (a) Bibles in Stone.
21. The statement says, "Gothic style churches were not limited to France." To verify if this statement is true or false, we can analyze the statement itself. The statement suggests that Gothic style churches were found beyond France. This implies that the statement is most likely true since Gothic architecture was not limited to one country and spread throughout Europe.
22. The statement says, "Two famous architects designed the dome of the Hagia Sophia." The statement suggests that architects designed the Hagia Sophia's dome. However, based on the information in your book, it states that two math experts designed it, not architects. Therefore, the statement is likely false.
