Question

read the excerpt from a short walk around the pyramids and through the world of art. we recognize the figure as a person, although it doesnt look like one. instead of copying the human body - and many african tribes could do that perfectly - it only suggests the human body. it excites our imagination, and our imagination turns the kota figure into a person. its triangles, cylinders, and parts of circles remind us of eyes, a neck, and hair, and our imagination tells us that we are looking at a human figure. the figure is an example of abstract art, an art that doesnt intend things to look real. if we searched, we could find examples of abstract art the world over. the photograph helps readers interpret the important details in the text, because it shows a realistic portrayal of a human body. it illustrates the description written in the text. it shows that african art is always abstract. it demonstrates that greek art differs from african art.

Explanation:

The text describes the Kota figure as an abstract art that suggests the human body through elements like triangles, cylinders, etc. The photograph would help readers by illustrating this description. The first option is wrong as it's abstract not realistic. The third option is incorrect as "always" is too extreme. The fourth option is not relevant as the text focuses on the figure itself not comparison with Greek art.

Answer:

it illustrates the description written in the text.
