Question

choose two universal themes that are developed in passage 1.
○ the fear of the unknown
○ the need for redemption
● the power of art and creativity
○ the intensity of human emotions
● the quest for knowledge and wisdom
part b
which detail from passage 1 develops both themes in part a?
○ \the face is that of a real maiden, whom you would think living and desirous of being kissed...\ (paragraph 1)
● \often he lifts his hands to the work to try whether it be flesh or ivory; nor does he yet confess it to be ivory.\ (paragraph 1)
○ \and now the festival day of venus had come, which all cyprus thronged to celebrate.\ (paragraph 2)
○ \but golden venus (for she herself was present at her feast) knew what that promise meant...\ (paragraph 2)

Explanation:

For Part A, the themes "the power of art and creativity" and "the quest for knowledge and wisdom" are developed. Art and creativity relate to the artistic work described, and the quest for knowledge is seen in the exploration of whether the work is flesh or ivory. For Part B, the detail "When he lifts his hands to the work to try whether it be flesh or ivory; nor does he yet confess it to be ivory." (Paragraph 1) develops both themes as it involves the artistic creation (power of art) and the exploration/quest to know the nature of the work (quest for knowledge).

Answer:

Part A: the power of art and creativity, the quest for knowledge and wisdom
Part B: "When he lifts his hands to the work to try whether it be flesh or ivory; nor does he yet confess it to be ivory." (Paragraph 1)
