If every change in rhythm is too sudden, what problem can occur?

Correct answer: The visual flow can break

Direct answer: A, the visual flow can break. In art, rhythm is the sense of movement created by repeating and varying lines, shapes, colours, textures, or spaces. Repetition gives continuity, while controlled variation prevents dullness. If every change is sudden and unrelated to the previous one, the eye has difficulty moving smoothly through the composition. The viewer may feel stops, jumps, or visual disturbance instead of an organised flow. A is correct because abrupt transitions interrupt continuity. B is wrong because uniformity usually comes from too little variation, not from excessive sudden change. C is wrong because rhythm does not automatically correct the proportions of forms. D is wrong because changes in rhythm do not make all colour intensities equal. Memory cue: good rhythm is like a steady beat—variation is welcome, but the beat must remain connected.
