Answer to Question 1

A
Hierarchical scale is the use of scale to indicate relative importance. In the royal altar to the hand, the king is at the center because he is the most important followed by his attendants.

Answer to Question 2

C
Both Oldenburg and van Bruggen added a shock value to their works by overturning our perception of scale as the measure of all things.
