Question 18. Which of the answers (A to E) is most like the two images on the left?

TIA

B

B

B

I think it's A.

B.

I think it's A.

What is the reasoning for A? Amongst other things, it's got a flat bottom that neither of the shapes have so didn't seem like the right one.

A

What's the explanation for B?

I thought A, because the number of straight horizontal lines at the bottom matches the number of concave curves on the shape, if that makes sense. Clearly I've missed something, though!

A = number of curved edges is the same as the horizontal lines at the bottom on the stick bit.

I'd go for C but don't really have a clue.

A

Alexashutup explained it better

A
One bottom line = 1 Outward curve I think

All the people saying B, why?

B - It's the only one which, like the two originals, has all curved edges in the umbrella part of the shape.

I thought B but I like the explanation for A!

B - It's the only one which, like the two originals, has all curved edges in the umbrella part of the shape.

Ah, ok. Fair enough.

I still think it's A though.

A

Number of little sticks matches number of concave lines

D

Pretty sure it's A for the reasons mentioned above. Those multiple lines are a classic NVR clue.

Actually no, A!

I thought A. Number of lines at base representing number of planes of symmetry.

A. The explanation about curved inwards lines as above. There is no explanation for any of the others I can see. The answer to questions like this aren't because something looks similar you need to find an actual reason.

A

Number of little sticks matches number of concave lines

I don’t understand that, sorry. The second shape on the left has two concave lines, one more concave than the other, but only one notch on the handle?

A for the same as above. But I thought it was going to be a question on NRV - net realisable value.
