IMO : A Whats the OA ?

And could you let us know where did u get stuck ? Between which answer choices are you confused ?

I'd pick B. What's the OA?

OA is B. I also picked A. IDon't understand why it is B?? Can anyone explain??

this one comes down to correct idiomatic usage - you model after something. also notice the correct parallelism: modeled the face of the statue after that (face) of his mother and the body after that (body) of his wife.

hope this helps.
