Answer to Question 1

E
The north tower, erected first, reflects the Romanesque styles and the south tower, built at a later date, exhibits the characteristics of the Gothic style. Sculptural jamb statues created to embellish the architecture also show the transition from Romanesque to Gothic.

Answer to Question 2

C
In Christ Entering Jerusalem, Duccio attempts to create believable space in a large outdoor scene through the compositional perspective of the architecture.
