Question

in the above painting by salvador dali, entitled persistence of memory, which of the following objects do not occupy positive space?
a. the clocks
c. the tree trunk
b. the ground
d. the cliff

Explanation:

In art, positive space refers to the area occupied by the main subjects (like the clocks, tree trunk, cliff in Dali's "Persistence of Memory"). The ground here is the negative space (background/area around subjects), so it doesn't occupy positive space.

Answer:

b. the ground
