Question

a(n) __________ is a representation of a person, especially in the sculpture form.
a. buddha\t\t\tc. mandala
b. effigy\t\t\td. dogu

please select the best answer from the choices provided

○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A (Buddha): Refers to a religious figure, not a general term for a sculpted representation of a person.
• Option B (effigy): By definition, an effigy is a representation (often sculptural) of a person. This matches the description.
• Option C (mandala): A mandala is a symbolic geometric design, not a representation of a person.
• Option D (dogu): Dogu are Japanese clay figures, but the term "effigy" is a more general term for a sculpted representation of a person, making B a better fit.

Answer:

B. effigy
