    • Identity 

    • Humanity 

    • Tropicality 

    • Functionality

    Correct Answer
    A. Functionality
    Explanation
    Alfred Abadilla, a Filipino architect, developed a theory of architecture that emphasized the importance of identity, humanity, and tropicality in design. He believed that architecture should reflect the cultural and environmental context in which it is built. Functionality, while important, was not a primary focus of Abadilla's theory. He prioritized the creation of spaces that resonate with the human spirit and express the unique identity of the Filipino people.

    • Visual inertia

    • Position

    Correct Answer
    A. Visual inertia
    Explanation
    Visual inertia refers to the tendency of an object to appear to continue moving in the same direction even after it has stopped. This phenomenon occurs because our visual system takes some time to process changes in motion. Therefore, when an object suddenly stops, our brain still perceives it as moving for a brief period. This can create an illusion of motion or cause us to misjudge the position or direction of an object. In the context of the given question, visual inertia is a relevant factor to consider when assessing the perception of an object's movement or motion.
