Answer:

a. (1) confusion; (2) action.

Step-by-step explanation:

The oil on canvas painting "The Portuguese" by Georges Braque was a form of Cubist painting that the artist founded and introduced in 1911. This style of painting presents a dismembered, abstract image of an object, making it into a complicated, broken-up picture that viewers has to try hard to understand.

"The Portuguese" by Braque contains stencilled letters BAL on the top right side, with numerals under them. Though the letters and the numerals does not represent anything in particular, they were included by the artist for purely compositional purposes.

The painting used zigzag lines as his primary element to suggest confusion and action at the same time.
