Answer to Question 1

Answer: a

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. On the left, the lady stands with hands on hips in a closed position during the singer's declaration of love, suggesting resistance, but on the right her arms are opened out from her body, embracing the shared space with her lover.
2. On the left, the matched colors and patterns of the singer's stockings and the lady's gown create a visual connection, prefiguring their physical and spiritual connection in the story. Matching colors bracket the narrative's beginning and end with the singer's green tunic on the left and the lady's gown on the right, visually unifying the story line.
