Question

why do you see objects when you shine a flashlight in a dark room? the objects you see are luminous. the objects you see are blackened. the objects you see are illuminated. the objects you see are refracted.

Explanation:

When you shine a flashlight in a dark room, the objects are visible because the flashlight illuminates them. Luminous objects emit their own light (like the flashlight itself), but the objects in the room are not luminous. Blackened objects would absorb light and not be easily seen. Refraction is about bending of light when passing through different mediums, which is not relevant here. Illumination means the objects are lit up by the flashlight's light, making them visible.

Answer:

The objects you see are illuminated.
