Answer to Question 1

Rome came of age during the Hellenistic period, and one aspect of Hellenistic art was a tendency toward realistic portrayals of individuals, as opposed to idealized portrayals of types of people. The Double Portrait is a portrait of a Roman husband and wife, who are fully realized as individuals. Roman sculptors excelled at realism in busts of ordinary people, as illustrated in the husband, whose well-defined creases and patient face convey a long experience in the trials of the world. His wife seems stronger, less marked by pain, and her supportive clasp of his hand suggests the Roman virtues of fidelity and harmony.

Answer to Question 2

B
The clerestory extended above the flanking elements, such as aisles, and is the topmost zone of the nave.
