To determine whether the statement "The pears occupy the positive space" is true or not, we need more context on what "positive space" refers to in this instance.
In design and art, "positive space" generally refers to the area that is taken up by the subject of an image (in this case, the pears), whereas "negative space" refers to the area around and between the subjects.
If the statement is meant to convey that the pears are the main subjects in an image and thus occupy positive space, then it would be true.
However, if the context indicates something different or if there are alternative meanings of "positive space" or "pears," then the statement could be evaluated differently.
Without additional context, it's difficult to definitively answer your question. Could you provide more context or clarify the options you have in mind?
