Which of the following tools are you most likely to use when creating shadows in inkscape?
a.
the gradient tool
b.
the pencil tool
c.
the ellipse tool
d.
the lighting too

The correct answer is: A.  The Gradient Tool

Explanation:

On Inkscape, the gradient tool allows you to create the progression of one color to another. This helps with shadowing because you can create the different color gradients that are necessary. Furthermore, it gives you the option of choosing between linear or radial gradients that will facilitate the process.

C. The Ellipse Tool

Explanation:

Although Gradient is an important feature, it is not considered a tool in Inkscape, but an attribute. So Gradient can not be the answer.

The Pencil Tool - it is a tool, but it would be too difficult to create a shadow because of the sharp lines and difficulty drawing. So you would not choose this and would not be the answer.

Ellipse Tool is the answer. First, it is a tool. You can easily draw ovals and circles, as well as to manipulate them.

The Lighting Tool - this does not exist as a tool in Inkscape, but it is an attribute. So this can not be the answer.
