Question

Which of the following are true about Egyptian art and architecture?
(A) Post and lintel system
(B) Follow strict geometrical rules
(C) Representation of real life
(D) Open air theatre

• A. A, B and D only
• B. A, B and C only
• C. A, B, C and D
• D. B, C and D only

Hint:

Egyptian art = post-lintel construction + geometrical rules + real-life depictions. Open-air theatre = Greek contribution.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Recall Egyptian architecture.
Egyptians used the post and lintel system in constructing temples and pyramids.
They followed strict geometrical proportions in art and architecture.
Art also represented daily life activities like farming, hunting, and religious rituals.
Open-air theatre, however, belongs to Greek civilization, not Egyptian.
Step 2: Eliminate incorrect option.
Since open-air theatre is Greek, (D) is not correct for Egypt.
Step 3: Verify correct features.
Thus, (A), (B), and (C) are correct.
Step 4: Conclusion.
Correct answer is (B) A, B and C only.
