If the contour line of a natural object is unbroken and too mechanical, what weakness may appear?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Natural variation and liveliness may reduce
The governing concept is expressive contour drawing. A natural object usually contains small changes in curvature, pressure, direction, and rhythm because its surfaces are irregular rather than manufactured. If the contour is drawn as one perfectly even, rigid, mechanical line, those subtle changes disappear. The object may then look flat, stiff, artificial, or copied from a symbol instead of observed from nature. Therefore option A is correct: natural variation and liveliness may reduce. Option B is the opposite effect, while C and D do not logically follow from excessive mechanical regularity. A controlled contour is useful, but it should still respond to the object’s structure and character.
