Which meaning of restrained most closely matches its meaning in the following passage (paragraph 9)?
The literature and other art of the ancient and classical periods is characterized by a formal and restrained style. A glance at any piece of classical
Greek or Roman art or architecture makes that style clear. It is perfectly balanced and symmetrical and hardly adorned, which can be seen in the
Parthenon, a famous Greek temple built in 480 B.C. Classical artists strove to achieve an ideal, and therefore did not include excess features that
could throw the piece off balance or reveal any awkward human flaw.
