You chose c " ------- could be seen as a continuous straight line. "Sorry, that's wrong. The gestalt principle of closure is a better explanation for why you would fill-in the gaps to see a straight line. Try again.

b.You chose "b.supported the structuralist's position."

Sorry, that's wrong. The structuralists believed the whole was equal to the sum of the parts. With the phi phenomenon, you are presented two non-moving images, but your mind sees more than that--it sees movement! Try again.
