If overlap of forms is correct but cast shadow is in the wrong direction, what problem occurs?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Light logic and ground relation will be confusing
A cast shadow is not merely a dark decorative shape; it records the relationship between a form, its supporting surface, and the light source. If the overlap is accurate but the shadow points in a direction that contradicts the highlights or the stated light source, the viewer receives conflicting spatial information. The object may appear to float, touch the ground incorrectly, or belong to a different lighting system. Thus option A is correct. Option B is false because one correct depth cue cannot repair a contradictory shadow. Option C reverses the effect, while option D ignores the basic function of a cast shadow in representing light direction and contact.
