a) A frayed decoration.
b) A curtain.
c) A piece of cheese.
d) A collection of keys.

Answer 1

A piece of twine hanging from the painting is described and it resembles a frayed decoration.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is described as hanging from the painting of the Duke's father is twine that resembled a frayed decoration. Tapestries, similar to other wall-hangings like paintings, were a significant part of historical interior decor, often serving a dual purpose of art and insulation. Renowned artists such as Raphael and Goya were known to create designs for these elaborate works.

However, in the description provided, the item hanging from the painting is twine, not a tapestry or any other luxury hanging.
