Whats the answer?

The correct answers: He talked the pope out pf a more abstract design, and He was highly instrumental in the design
I think it's the last two?
To determine whether the options listed were unique experiences for Michelangelo while creating the Sistine Chapel ceiling, let's go through each one:
1. "He was highly instrumental in the design."
This option is possibly unique because Michelangelo had significant influence over the overall design of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, unlike other artists who worked on similar projects during that time. Michelangelo's design incorporated frescoes depicting biblical scenes rather than traditional decorative patterns.
2. "He used oil paints instead of fast-drying tempera."
This option is not unique to Michelangelo because he did not use oil paints for the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Instead, he used the traditional fresco technique, which involves applying paint onto wet plaster, allowing for a durable and long-lasting artwork.
3. "He had difficulty convincing the church to hire him."
This option is partially true. Michelangelo faced initial reluctance from the church to hire him for the project, as they were skeptical about his ability to paint frescoes since his previous works were primarily sculptures. However, after successful completion of the commission for Pope Julius II, he was eventually hired to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
4. "He talked the pope out of a more abstract design."
This option is not true. Michelangelo did not convince the pope, but rather worked at the request and under the supervision of Pope Julius II, who provided specific instructions for the iconography and content of the frescoes.
Based on the analysis, only option 1, "He was highly instrumental in the design," is unique to Michelangelo's experience in creating the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
