Question

which of these is the strawberry in its new position?

Explanation:

Analyze the reference image

The reference strawberry at the top is oriented pointing downwards, with its green stem and leaves at the top.

Evaluate the options for rigid rotation

• Option 1: The strawberry is oriented pointing downwards, but the stem is at the bottom. This represents a vertical reflection (flip), not a pure rotation.
• Option 2: The strawberry is rotated 90 degrees clockwise. The stem is on the right, and the body points to the left. This is a valid rigid rotation.
• Option 3: The strawberry is upside down (pointing upwards) with the stem at the bottom. This is a vertical reflection (flip), not a pure rotation.
• Option 4: The strawberry is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise, but the stem is on the left while the body points to the right. This is a reflected state.

Identify the correct rotated position

Option 2 represents a pure 90-degree clockwise rotation of the original strawberry.

Answer:

• (A) Strawberry pointing down with stem at the bottom (reflected)
• (B) Strawberry rotated 90 degrees clockwise with stem on the right (Correct answer)
• (C) Strawberry pointing up with stem at the bottom (reflected)
• (D) Strawberry rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise (reflected)
