Explanation:

During writing an Art Critique Essay in the interpretation part the writer should answer the questions about  what he/she thinks is going on in the painting, how does this art object make him/her feel, what did the artist want to tell you as a viewer? So I think best answer will be - C.

The overall effect of the mural is to suggest that Charlie Chaplin was much more than a very good comic actor.

But it is hard to choose between B and C.

perimeter = 2l +2w, divide total perimeter by 2 for total length of 1 side and 1 width

172/2 = 86 (  total for 1 side and 1 width)

86-24 = 62 (since length is 24 ft longer subtract 24 then divide by 2 for width)

62/2 = 31

width = 31 feet

length = 31 +24 = 55 feet

check: 31*2 = 62, 55*2 = 110,  110+62 = 172

the answer is counterpoint.

counterpoint definition: "the art or technique of playing a melody or melodies in conjunction with another, according to fixed rules."

counterpoint is present in a lot of baroque music- such as bach (notably his wtc prelude and fugues) and scarlatti, but can also be found in music by mozart, beethoven. it can even be found in music as modern as john williams!
