a) Mirror
b) Rotate
c) Flip
d) Group
- Flip: This specifically refers to reversing the image along a horizontal or vertical axis. When you flip an image, it essentially mirrors it across that axis, causing it to face the opposite direction.
- Mirror (a): While mirroring can achieve a similar effect of reversing the image, it often has a broader meaning in design software. It can involve creating a mirrored reflection of an object, not necessarily limited to flipping along a single axis.
- Rotate (b): Rotating an image involves turning it around a central point at a specific angle. While flipping changes the direction the object faces, rotating doesn’t necessarily alter the direction it “looks” in.
- Group (d): Grouping refers to combining multiple objects in your presentation into a single unit. This allows you to manipulate them together as a whole but doesn’t directly affect the direction an image faces.
Therefore, “flip” is the most precise term for describing the action of changing an image’s direction in clip art by reversing it along an axis.
