Question

question 9 of 10
which of these statements accurately describes the two churches shown here?
a. both churches are eastern orthodox because they both are painted in primary colors.
b. both churches are eastern orthodox because they both have tall towers and curving windows.
c. the church on the left is eastern orthodox because it has domed towers rather than pointed steeples.
d. the church on the right is eastern orthodox because it has pointed steeples rather than domed towers.

Explanation:

Eastern Orthodox churches are characterized by domed towers, while the church on the right with pointed steeples is a Western Christian (e.g., Catholic or Protestant) church. Option A is wrong because the right church is not Eastern Orthodox, and color is not a defining trait. Option B is incorrect as the left church lacks tall towers, and the right is not Eastern Orthodox. Option D is wrong because pointed steeples are not a feature of Eastern Orthodox churches.

Answer:

C. The church on the left is Eastern Orthodox because it has domed towers rather than pointed steeples.
