Question

24 the use of animal fat in pigments likely helped with what?

a. binding the pigment to the cave walls

b. brightening colors

c. making the paint smell better

d. creating a glossy finish

Explanation:

Animal fat in pigments (like in prehistoric cave art) acts as a binder, helping adhere the pigment to surfaces (cave walls). Brightening colors isn’t a fat’s role, smell improvement is illogical, and glossy finish isn’t the main use here. So option a is correct.

Answer:

a. Binding the pigment to the cave walls
