Answer to Question 1

A
Contrapposto, developed by ancient Greeks, sets the body in a gentle S-shaped curve through a play of opposites. You can see such balance in ancient Greek works.

Answer to Question 2

D
Minimalism developed from a broad tendency during the 1960s and '70s toward simple, primary forms. Minimalist artists believed that art should offer a pure and honest aesthetic experience instead of trying to influence people through images. They favored materials associated more with industry or construction than with art.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
