If one-half of a convex lens is covered with black paper, blocking light from passing through that half, what happens to the image formed by the remaining half?

Question
If one-half of a convex lens is covered with black paper, blocking light from passing through that half, what happens to the image formed by the remaining half?
No image is formed at all
A complete (though somewhat dimmer) image of the object is still formed
Only half of the object's image (e.g., only the top half) is formed
The image becomes inverted twice, appearing upright again
Answer
A complete (though somewhat dimmer) image of the object is still formed
Detailed Explanation
Since every point of the object sends rays to the entire lens surface, covering half the lens still allows the uncovered half to form a complete image of the object, just dimmer since less light passes through.
