Which option correctly indicates placing form in space?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Showing the base plane and cast shadow
An object appears convincingly placed in space when the drawing shows its relationship with a supporting surface and the surrounding environment. A base plane establishes where the object rests, while a cast shadow indicates contact, light direction, and distance from that surface. Together they prevent the form from looking accidentally suspended. Option A is correct because these cues ground the object and connect it to the space around it. An unexplained floating form lacks positional support. A shadow normally falls on a surface rather than being written above the object, and ignoring space removes important depth information. The exact shadow shape may vary with the light, but its grounding function remains.
