• art focused only on the subjects of science and math
• art used for decoration without cultural meaning

Explanation:

Analyze the goals of Egyptian and African traditional art

Traditional Egyptian art focused heavily on preserving memory, religious beliefs, the afterlife, and projecting royal power. Traditional African art is deeply functional, serving as a tool for spiritual beliefs, community values, and reinforcing social structures or power.

Evaluate the given options

• "Art as a tool for power, belief, and lasting memory" directly combines the core purposes of both traditions (power/belief in African and Egyptian art, lasting memory/afterlife in Egyptian art).
• "Art that ignores human connection or tradition" is incorrect, as both cultures value tradition and community connection.
• "Art focused only on the subjects of science and math" is incorrect, as both are primarily spiritual, political, and cultural.
• "Art used for decoration without cultural meaning" is incorrect, as both traditions are highly symbolic and functional rather than purely decorative.

Answer:

• Art as a tool for power, belief, and lasting memory (Correct answer)
• Art that ignores human connection or tradition
• Art focused only on the subjects of science and math
• Art used for decoration without cultural meaning
