1. The problem is to determine the next shape in the sequence: K, Y, Y, ?. 2. Observe the given shapes and their transformations: - The first shape is a "K". - The next two shapes are "Y". 3. Consider the rotations and modifications of the "K" shape to form the "Y" shapes. 4. The first "Y" could be derived from the "K" by rotating or modifying it. 5. The options are: 1) "K" rotated 180 degrees upside down. 2) "K" rotated about 45 degrees counterclockwise with an added slash. 3) "K" rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. 6. Since the sequence is K, Y, Y, the next shape likely continues the pattern of transformations. 7. The "Y" shapes are derived from the "K" shape by rotation and modification. 8. The option that best fits the pattern of transformation from "K" to "Y" is option 2, which shows a "K" rotated about 45 degrees counterclockwise with an added slash, resembling a "Y". 9. Therefore, the correct option is 2.
