Question

Shown below is an animation of a bird flying. Which frame is NOT present in the animation? 

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

For animations, focus on how the object or character moves between frames and ensure that each frame follows the natural motion.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Observe the bird's flying animation and how the wings move through the frames. The bird flaps its wings alternately, with a smooth transition between frames.
Step 2: Each option represents a potential frame in the animation, but shows an unrealistic wing position, as it does not fit with the typical wing movement observed in the other frames.
Step 3: Therefore, does not belong in the sequence.

Answer 2

In a smooth flapping-wing animation, the bird's eye, beak, and body proportions have to stay the same in every frame, since only the wings are meant to move through the flap cycle. Checking each option against that fixed "character model" rather than just the wing position shows which frame does not actually belong to this animation.

1. Option A: The eye, beak, and body match the main bird, only the wing is drawn at a different point in the flap, so this is a valid in-between frame.
2. Option B: The eye and beak again match the main bird exactly, with the wing at yet another point in the flap cycle, so this also fits the animation.
3. Option C: The eye here is a plain, solid dot with no white highlight, unlike every other frame's eye, and the wing and body shape are also noticeably different, so this frame breaks the consistent character model the rest of the animation keeps.
4. Option D: The eye and beak still match the main bird, with the wing again at a different, but consistent, point in the flap, so it belongs to the same animation.

Only option C breaks the fixed eye, beak and body details that every real frame of this animation keeps, so it is the frame that does not belong.

So the correct answer is Option C.
