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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
