Hint 2 of 2
Find the option that becomes exactly the reference kangaroo after some rotation.
Show solution
Approach: test each card for a matching rotation
- The card on the right shows the kangaroo in one pose; turning a card keeps it the same shape (no mirror flip).
- Rotate each option in your mind and compare it to the reference.
- Only card E matches the reference after a turn, so the answer is E.
