Directions: The 3 - D problem figure shows a view of an object. Identify the correct front view, from amongst the answer figures, looking in the direction of arrow.
Show Hint
From the front the object shows a row of three equal bays at the bottom and, above them, a block with a central slot between two side columns.
The object has a low base slab whose front end is a small box, and a taller block standing on it at the back, with a rectangular slot cut into the middle of its top edge. Looking in the direction of the arrow (from the front): 1. The base slab and its front box form the lower row. Its edges divide the width into three equal bays, so there are two vertical lines in the lower row. 2. Above this row there is the taller block. Its front face is seen as a wide rectangle in the middle with a narrower column on each side (the side parts of the block lie further back or to the sides), so the upper part appears as a U-shaped outline closed by the two outer columns. 3. The slot cut in the middle of the top edge of the taller block is about one bay wide and about half as deep as the block; it appears as a rectangle open at the top inside the central part. The third answer figure has all of these: three equal bays at the bottom, a wide central part with the top slot, and two outer columns on the full height. The first figure has unequal bottom cells, the second shows the slot filled by another block, and the fourth has no left column. Answer: (3) the third answer figure
