Which sentence best helps readers visualize the Benin plaque?

Answer

“In these chapters we are looking at objects that chart how Europe first encountered and then traded with the wider world in the sixteenth century.”

“There are several hundred Benin plaques now in European and American museums, and they offer us a remarkable picture of the structure of this West African kingdom.”

“It is about 40 centimetres (16 inches) square; its colour strikes you as coppery rather than brassy, and there are five figures on it, three Africans and two Europeans.”

Explanation

Choice C gives concrete details that help readers picture the plaque: its approximate size, coppery color, and the five figures shown on it. Choices A and B provide historical context and information about the plaques, but they do not describe what this plaque looks like.
