Based on the description you provided of the interior of Notre Dame Cathedral, the correct features that are likely to be seen in the image are:

  1. Ribbed vault - This architectural feature is commonly found in Gothic cathedrals.
  2. Jamb figures - These are often found adjacent to doorways in Gothic architecture and may be present in the image.
  3. Nave - This is the central part of the cathedral where the congregation gathers.
  4. Clerestory with pointed arch and stained glass windows - This feature is typical in Gothic cathedrals, allowing light to enter while also providing architectural support.

The arcade and gallery may not be explicitly visible in the description provided, assuming the focus is primarily on the corridor leading to a door. Therefore, I would be cautious about including them without more context.

So, the likely correct responses are:

  • ribbed vault
  • jamb figures
  • nave
  • clerestory with pointed arch and stained glass windows

Please let me know if further clarification is needed!
