Hint 2 of 2
Look for the one shape that you can find on just a single animal and nowhere else.
Show solution
Approach: spot the shape that appears on only one animal
- Most animals are built only from triangles (and a square), which show up again and again.
- The slanted parallelogram (a leaning four-sided shape) appears on just one animal.
- That animal is the purple one, D, so the answer is D.
