If a large form appears without contact shadow on ground, what might the viewer feel?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The form is floating in air
The governing concept is the visual connection between an object and its supporting ground. A large form normally needs some indication of contact, such as a darkened area directly beneath it, a compressed edge, or a cast shadow consistent with the light direction. Without that cue, the eye cannot confidently locate the point of support. The form may therefore appear detached from the ground or suspended in space, even if its outline and internal shading are otherwise convincing. Option A is correct because it describes the likely perceptual result. B states the opposite, C confuses missing evidence with increased mass, and D incorrectly treats contact shadow as proof of perspective accuracy.
