The distance cue in which two parallel lines extend into the distance and seem to come together at one point is called ________.
A) aerial perspective
B) shadowing
C) motion parallax
D) linear perspective

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description provided in the question refers to linear perspective, also known as vanishing point perspective. This cue is based on the fact that when two parallel lines recede into the distance, they appear to converge at a point on the horizon (the vanishing point). The other options - aerial perspective, shadowing, and motion parallax - do not involve parallel lines converging in this way.
