Answer to Question 1

Writing out the Qur'an is viewed as an act of prayer. Calligraphy thus became the most highly regarded art in Islamic land, and great calligraphers achieved the renown Europeans accorded to painters and sculptors. Images of animate beings were never illustrated. Instead, artists ornamented manuscripts with geometric patterns and stylized plant forms.

Answer to Question 2

D
Muqarnas are niche-like scoops, typically placed in entryways.
