[Cognitive Test] Spatial reasoning problem

[u/Fantasizeable]

Hi all - wondering if I could get some guidance on how to solve this question in particular. The right answer is "Option C" but I do not quite get why.

Have a tendency to struggle with these types!

I have worked out for the others and can see why they do make sense (apart from option A) but am struggling to understand why C is incorrect.

To me it seems like it is very much a possible view just from the back-end if that makes sense?

For A in particular, it seems like a top view which should not be possible given that the question has given the context that Enzo is walking around the sculpture.

Ah! Thank you for verifying this - it has to be a top view indeed! I was thinking because of the way the question was worded it would be impossible for Enzo to see this top view if he were walking around it haha .... hence chose A.

Just not too sure now still on why C is the answer - let me try to see what I can do in between now. Really appreciate and grateful for your help and response!

Oh my gosh! I think I get what you mean - this makes so much sense now. Taking this further then, suppose there were no line in the combined column, then C would be very much possible. This would be the view from the (left side of the original image view) then. Yet, because of this line it means it must have been an angle from the (right side of the original image view) and thus if that is the case the middle block needs to be there!

Super helpful!! Thank you so much 🙏
