Concept

In an embedded-figure problem, the required shape is a connected set of line segments with the same junctions and orientation as the target. Extra lines in the larger drawing may cross or extend the required segments, but they do not remove the embedded shape.

Because rotation is forbidden, use a distinctive anchor stroke and preserve every turn, straight segment, and endpoint direction while tracing the figure.

Application

1. Use the target’s short stroke rising to the right from its upper-left junction as the anchor. From that junction, note the horizontal top edge, the two sides, the lower edge, and the straight diagonal to the lower-right corner.

2. In the matching drawing, begin at the left inner junction on the middle horizontal line. Its branch rises to the right toward the upper inner apex, the horizontal edge reaches the right inner junction, and the side descends to the lower-right inner junction.

3. Continue along the lower inner edge to the lower-left junction and back to the starting junction. The straight diagonal from the left inner junction to the lower-right inner junction completes the target without rotating it.

Cross-check

The protruding branch still points upward-right, the upper and lower edges keep their orientation, and the diagonal reaches the same lower-right junction. In the other drawings, either that diagonal is interrupted or the upward-right branch begins at a different junction.

Result

The required figure is the drawing with the unbroken diagonal from the left inner junction to the lower-right inner junction and the upward-right branch from that same left junction.
