Answer to Question 1

D
Both compositions feature the use of several rhythms, such as Yusho's long lines of the nets and short, quick reed leaves and Klee's tapered silvery forms that sway, and the yellow birds that are alert and circling.

Answer to Question 2

C
The Modulor is based on two overlapping golden sections. The first extends from the feet to the top of the head; the second extends from the navel to the tip of an upraised hand.
