youre not assuming that the triangle is the same shape/size all the way through the object? (almost as if a triangular prism was shoved through the box?) And if top view is a cross, why isnt C the answer?

look at the picture just like that. eyes FROm THE MIDDLE TOP.
A can't fit because the middle bar that is hidden on the back side of the rectangle is much longr than the front part
 
"C" for sure. For "A" the sizes are not even close to the object and in Keyholes the sizes must be some how proportional. Also the two pieces of the object have cut each other and none of them covers the other one, which should have been the case if "A" was the answer. The rest of them it's obvious that they are not the answer. If you look at the object from the top, you can see "C" clearly.

I can't see "A". Can you tell me how you see it?

wont fit on C because looking at the given figure, the middle long bar that goes thru the rectangle is NOT in the Middle of the rectangle.
look at the space between each of the triangle corners compared to the rectangle.
in two of the triangle corners is almost touching the rectangle borders.
 
A cannot be the right answer.
If the answer says it's A, then that answer is wrong.
And that's why this problem has error.
Whoever agreed that the A is the answer should know that A cannot be the answer if you really wanna do well on this section.

I am pretty sure I did well (21) and I am pretty sure the answer is A.
 
That is a weird question. I wouldn't pick A because it doesn't look like the triangle reaches the outer sides of the square. There is a small space in between the corner of the triangle and the square (or it appears so). Plus, in my opinion, in answer choice A, the small part that is sticking out of the block looks too small in relation to the block. In the picture it does not look like there is that big of a difference between the block and the triangle side sticking out of the back.

Also, the triangle coming out of the front of the block and the triangle coming out of the back have the exact same line angles on top and bottom indicating that they are the same size.

Am I just looking at this wrong...? I am not seeing it.
 
it can't be C because if you look at the end of the diagram that triangle is almost touching the edge of the rectangle.

It's between A and D. The tail in D looks a little too thin, so I can see it being A as well actually.

Thanks. I see it now.

I didn't think the triangle is touching the rectangle's border! I guess this is not a good picture.
