Final answer:
The correct answer is option a.The word 'upshot' is synonymous with 'result,' and a hypothesis is akin to a 'suggestion.' The law of good continuation relates to visual perception in Gestalt psychology, and resolution in storytelling is the conclusion where the conflict is resolved.
Step-by-step explanation:
The word "upshot" is most closely related to the concept of a result or outcome of a sequence of events. Therefore, the correct option that matches the word "upshot" is a) result.
Addressing the second question, the word closest in meaning to "hypothesis" is d) suggestion. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation. It is not yet proven or accepted as fact, which differentiates it from a law or conclusion and is more speculative than a formula.
The law of good continuation, often referred to in Gestalt psychology, suggests that elements arranged on a line or curve are perceived to be more related than elements not on the line or curve. Therefore, the answer to question number 24 is b) good continuation.
The concept of resolution, also known as dénouement in literature and storytelling, refers to the stage where the central conflict has been resolved and the story concludes, tying up any loose ends and bringing things to a normal, though possibly changed, state.
