Concept
An embedded-figure question is solved by preserving the target’s orientation, connected-segment order, and junctions. Extra lines in an option may cross or extend the target, but every required segment must remain traceable without rotation.
Track distinctive junctions before ordinary outer edges; here, use the horizontal bar with an upright triangular peak and the connected lower zigzag.
Application
Start at the long horizontal bar in the figure with a centre-left hexagon and a lower-right diamond.
From the bar, trace the diagonal up to the upper junction and then the vertical back down to the same bar; this reproduces the upper triangular peak in the unchanged orientation.
From the bar’s left end, follow the vertical edge downward, then trace the connected rising zigzag through the lower-right diamond region until it rejoins the bar at the right.
Cross-check
The upper peak points upward and has the same diagonal-left and vertical-right sides.
The lower connected chain has the same bends and does not require turning the target.
Other grid lines are extra construction lines and do not break the traced figure.
Therefore, the figure with the centre-left hexagon and the lower-right diamond contains the target without rotation.
