Hint 2 of 2
Put each little strip up against the sun's edge and see which one is an exact copy of part of it.
Show solution
Approach: match the strip of rays to the sun's actual rays
- Each answer is a small piece cut from the edge of a sun, so the right one must match a piece of Alaya's sun exactly.
- Hold each strip against the sun and compare the rays' shape, width and spacing.
- Only strip B lines up as a real piece of Alaya's drawing.
- So the answer is B.
