The correct answer is bust.

A bust is a sculpture that represents the<em> upper part of the body</em> (head, neck, shoulders). This piece of art is usually supported by a plinth which means a heavy base.

The portrait bust was invented in Hellenistic Greece. Not many original Greek examples of busts survived though, and most copies are Roman. In the  Roman tradition, wax masks of dead people were made and later worn at their funerals, in front of the popped up body of the deceased. The bust-making tradition may have had originated there.

Most busts were made from bronze, wax, terracotta, marble or wood.

What are common British stereotypes?.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The British are said to be reserved in manners, dress, and speech. They are famous for their politeness, self-discipline, and especially for their sense of humor.

British people have a strong sense of humor which sometimes can be hard for foreigners to understand. Britain is a country of mixed cultures.

Etiquette is the set of traditional policies of personal behaviour in polite society, usually within the shape of an ethical code that delineates the predicted and widely wide-spread social behaviours that accord with the conventions and norms found by using a society, a social elegance, or a social organization. In modern-day English usage, the French phrase étiquette (French: [etikɛt]; lit. 'label, tag, memo, and so on.') dates from the yr 1750. inside the third millennium BCE, the ancient Egyptian vizier Ptahhotep wrote The Maxims of Ptahhotep (2375–2350 BC), a didactic e book of precepts extolling civil virtues, along with truthfulness, self-discipline, and kindness toward other humans.

Which two continents make up the New World?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

D - North America and South America

Explanation:

Heck, as recently as the 1800s, some people says there were just two continents, the Old — including Europe, Africa and Asia — and the New, which encompassed North and South America. It doesn't take much imagination to see why this is more complicated than it seems.
