An assembled answer shows a gap between two pieces that should touch. This answer is:
Answer: Incorrect, since pieces must fit flush
Valid assemblies have pieces meeting flush with no gaps.
In a connection item, one point is on a star's tip and one is on a square's corner. The line must:
Answer: Join the star's tip directly to the square's corner
The line connects exactly the two labeled points: the tip and the corner.
Two L-shaped pieces can form a rectangle when:
Answer: Their matching edges align and one is rotated to interlock
Rotating one L-piece lets the two interlock into a rectangle along matching edges.
Why might an otherwise-correct assembly answer be wrong?
Answer: One piece is rotated to an impossible orientation by reflecting it
If matching the shape requires flipping a piece, that answer is invalid.
When scanning answer choices, a useful elimination clue is a piece that is:
Answer: Clearly a different size than any provided piece
A wrong-sized piece can't belong, so that choice is eliminated immediately.
A connection line passes through a shape instead of stopping at the labeled point. This indicates:
Answer: An incorrect connection that overshoots the point
The line should terminate at the labeled point, not pass through the shape.
After mentally assembling all pieces, the resulting outline should match:
Answer: The single answer choice with identical shape and all pieces used
Only the choice matching your assembled outline with every piece used is correct.
