Answer:

Inspired by and following the Koran, calligraphy became the main feature of Islamic art.

Explanation:

The Koran, or Qur'an, is the sacred book of Islam, which according to tradition was written by prophet Muhammad between 609-632 following divine inspiration by God. The Korean establishes that there's only one God, and that he is indivisible. This idea of the oneness of God is known as the tawhid, and it's the single most important principle of Islam. Following this concept, Islam forbids any and all representations of God or Muhammad, because creating an image of any of them could lead to idolatry, which runs contrary to the principle of the oneness of God. This led Islamic artists to focus on calligraphy as a form of art. From the beginning, the first versions of the Koran were written in highly stylized Arabic calligraphy. Soon this style spread, and Islamic art became renowned for its intricate calligraphy in paintings, pottery, architecture, and many more.

Answer:

The answer is: letter A. Racial discrimination will not be tolerated.

Explanation:

Eleanor Roosevelt's action towards DAR (Daughter's of the American Revolution) and her treatment of Marian Anderson (a black woman) proved that racial discrimination will not be tolerated.

Since her plea to let Marian Anderson sing at the hall was not allowed by the DAR, she removed herself from the organization. This shows how much she supported the equality of all races. She also made a way to let Marian Anderson sing at the Lincoln Memorial, where thousands of people (both white and black) gathered to listen to her song. So, with this, Roosevelt was able to strengthen her movement against racial discrimination, thus allowing the black people to have confidence (especially the black artists) in performing.

Thus, this explains the answer.
