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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
