Which term refers to a series of images shown rapidly to create the illusion of motion?

• A. Animation
• B. Frame
• C. Boolean
• D. Function

Answer: (A)

Animation is the process of showing a sequence of images in quick succession to create the illusion of movement. Each image, or frame, is slightly different, and when displayed rapidly—often many frames per second—the brain combines them into smooth motion. A single image in that sequence is called a frame, not the whole motion. A boolean is a true/false value used in logic, and a function is a reusable block of code that performs a task. So the term that refers to the rapid series of images that makes motion appear is animation.
