Question

this image is from a sumerian mosaic called the standard of ur. which of these is true about the mosaic?
a. it displays the earliest example of mesopotamian writing.

b. it is made of several small objects combined together.

c. it is an oil painting that was made on a single flat surface.

d. it has little color compared to other ancient art examples.

Explanation:

• Option A: The Standard of Ur is a mosaic and does not display Mesopotamian writing (cuneiform is the writing system, and the mosaic is more about scenes, not writing), so A is false.
• Option B: Mosaics are made of small objects (like stone, shell, etc.) combined together, which fits the Standard of Ur's construction.
• Option C: It is not an oil painting (oil painting is a much later technique, and the Standard of Ur is a mosaic), so C is false.
• Option D: The Standard of Ur has vibrant colors from materials like lapis lazuli, shell, etc., so it does not have little color, D is false.

Answer:

B. It is made of several small objects combined together.
