4The paper as shown in the figure is folded to make a cube where each square corresponds to a particular face of the cube. Which one of the following options correctly represents the cube?
Note: The figures shown are representative.
[Figure: a cross-shaped net of 6 squares. Top row: one square marked with a filled dot (•). Middle row (left to right): a blank square, a square marked Δ, a blank square, a square marked with a filled triangle (▲). Bottom row: one square marked with a hollow circle (o), positioned below the Δ square. When folded, the Δ square becomes the front face, the dot square (directly above it in the net) becomes the top face, the circle square (directly below it) becomes the bottom face, the two blank squares become the left and right faces, and the ▲ square (at the far end of the row) becomes the back face.]
  • A) Cube showing the front face marked Δ with the filled-dot (•) face visible as the adjacent top face — consistent with the dot being directly above Δ in the net.
  • B) Cube showing the front face marked Δ with the filled-triangle (▲) face visible as an adjacent face — inconsistent, since ▲ is the back face (not adjacent to Δ) in the net.
  • C) Cube showing only the Δ face visible, with the two adjacent visible faces left blank.
  • D) Cube showing the filled-triangle (▲) face and the dot (•) face as adjacent visible faces, with Δ elsewhere — inconsistent with the net's layout.
Answer: A
