Answer 1

The most accurate response for the purpose of the sculpture "Model of a River Boat" is:

record cultural and historic norms by showing the style of a time period.

This is because such models often reflect the daily life, customs, and artistic practices of the era they represent, rather than serving a purely political or emotional expressiveness.
