Question

which statement describes a characteristic of persian carpets?
weavers used geometric and floral patterns to create symmetrical designs.
artists wove thin strips of cotton to create flat - weave carpets.
artists used organic patterns to create asymmetrical designs
weavers incorporated portraits of the sultan within geometric designs

Explanation:

Persian carpets are known for their use of geometric and floral patterns to create symmetrical designs. Flat - weave carpets are not the main characteristic of Persian carpets (they are more associated with kilims in some cases, but Persian carpets are often pile carpets). Persian carpet designs are usually symmetrical rather than asymmetrical. Also, portraits of the sultan within geometric designs are not a typical characteristic of Persian carpets.

Answer:

Weavers used geometric and floral patterns to create symmetrical designs.
