Which face is the most abstract?
-
The first face (One)
-
The second face (A Few)
-
The third face (Thousands)
-
The fourth face (Millions)
-
The fifth face (Nearly) All
Correct Answer
A. The fifth face (Nearly) AllExplanation
The fifth face, "Nearly All," is the most abstract because it does not provide a specific number or quantity like the other options. Instead, it uses the term "nearly," which is a vague and subjective term that does not provide a clear definition or measurement. This makes it more abstract compared to the other options that provide specific numbers or quantities.Rate this question:

"When we abstract an image through cartooning, we're not so much eliminating details as we are focusing on..."
-
Specific details.
-
Specific colors.
-
Specific styles.
-
Specific genres.
Correct Answer
A. Specific details.Explanation
When we abstract an image through cartooning, we are not eliminating details but rather honing in on specific details. Cartooning involves simplifying and exaggerating certain features to convey a message or create a specific effect. By focusing on specific details, such as facial expressions, gestures, or objects, cartoonists can communicate their intended message more effectively. This allows them to convey emotions, actions, or ideas in a way that is easily understandable and relatable to the audience.Rate this question:

When interacting with inaminate objects, like cars, the human driver absorbs the car...
-
As an object of our imagination.
-
As an extension of the brain.
-
As a part of the family.
-
As an extension of our body.
Correct Answer
A. As an extension of our body.Explanation
When interacting with inanimate objects like cars, the human driver absorbs the car as an extension of their body. This means that the driver perceives the car as being a part of themselves, as if it is an additional limb or tool that enhances their abilities. This perception allows the driver to have a greater sense of control and connection with the car, enabling them to maneuver it with precision and make split-second decisions. This understanding of the car as an extension of the body is crucial in driving safely and effectively.Rate this question:

-
Similarities to simply drawn characters.
-

Correct Answer
A. Otherness to the reader.Explanation
Japanese comics artists draw most characters "simply" and then use the power of objectifying more realistically drawn characters to emphasize a character's otherness to the reader. This means that by contrasting the simply drawn characters with more realistically drawn ones, the artists can highlight the unique qualities or differences of a character, making them stand out and appear distinct or unfamiliar to the reader.Rate this question:
