If the center axis of a bowl's opening ellipse does not match the bowl body, what error appears?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Structural unity of the form will break
The opening of a bowl is not an isolated symbol; it must belong to the same three-dimensional body as the outer contour. Its centre axis should agree with the bowl’s main axis so that the rim, walls, and base appear to turn in one continuous spatial direction. If the axes disagree, the opening may seem twisted, off-centre, or attached to a different object. This breaks structural unity and weakens the credibility of the hollow form, so option A is correct. The error does not make the bowl more balanced, remove the need for an inner shadow, or make the ellipse automatically invisible. Those effects do not follow from axis misalignment.
