Answer 1

The correct answer would be, This illustrates the Gestalt principle of Closure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Gestalt was a psychologist, who gave many principles, like principle of closure, principle of proximity, etc. According to Gestalt, the human brain is designed in such a way that it perceives the things in their complete whole, even if there are certain gaps or absent parts in it. For example, if there are certain lines in a circle, the human brain still perceives it a whole circle.

Similarly in this example, when the builder sees the home from one angle, it appeared to be completely framed but from the other angle, he sees some gaps. This is when he sees it closely, he sees the gap. Otherwise the home appeared be to completely framed at first glance. This is the principle of closure.
