The carver paid attention to the small details of the sculpture, such as the cheeks and the noses.
The correct answer is option B.
The glossary helps the reader understand that the carver paid attention to the small details of the sculpture, such as the cheeks and the noses. This is evident in the excerpt where it mentions that the jowls of the horse, its muzzle, and the backs of the other gods are cut with as much care as though they had been made for the floor of the great temple.
The glossary defines "jowls" as the lower part of an animal's cheek and "muzzle" as the jaws and nose of an animal. By understanding these definitions, the reader can infer that the carver took great care in sculpting these specific parts of the animals. This attention to detail suggests that the carvings were meticulously crafted and highlights the skill of the carver.
Therefore, the correct answer is B: The carver paid attention to the small details of the sculpture, such as the cheeks and the noses.
