Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The convergence of parallel lines provides the distance cue known as
A
interposition.
B
closure.
C
relative height.
D
linear perspective.
E
continuity.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Linear perspective is the observance that parallel lines converge at a single vanishing point. The use of this cue relies on the assumption that the object being viewed is constructed of parallel lines, such as most buildings, for instance.

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct solution to this problem is provided by option C: linear perspective. The linear perspective is a monocular depth cue that relies on the fact that two parallel lines will seem to be converging as they go further from the observer.

Detailed explanation-3: -Linear perspective in psychology refers to a visual cue in which two parallel lines appear to meet together in the distance. This perspective is an example of a monocular cue in psychology, which only requires one eye to view.

Detailed explanation-4: -The convergence of parallel lines provides the distance cue known as: linear perspective. People are more likely to perceive a figure and ground illustration as reversible if they are told it is reversible.

Detailed explanation-5: -Basic Perspective: Converging Lines The edges of objects appear to converge or taper as they recede in the distance to a common point on the eye level or horizon line. In Linear Perspective this is referred to as a Vanishing Point.
