Read the excerpt from "Benin Plaque: The Oba with Europeans.” Made in what is now modern Nigeria in the sixteenth century, the Benin plaques are actually made of brass, not bronze. They are each about the size of an A3 piece of paper and show figures in high relief that celebrate the victories of the Benin ruler, the Oba, and the rituals of the Oba’s court. Which phrases from the excerpt provide visual details? Choose three correct answers.
Answer
A
“modern Nigeria”
B
“in the sixteenth century”
C
“actually made of brass”
D
“the size of an A3 piece of paper”
E
“show figures in high relief”
Explanation
“Actually made of brass” identifies the plaques’ visible material, while “the size of an A3 piece of paper” gives a visual sense of their dimensions. “Show figures in high relief” describes how the figures look on the plaques. “Modern Nigeria” and “in the sixteenth century” give location and time, not visual details.
