Why the F* is this A?

For the second one, it could not possibly be any of the other choices they are just ridiculous so E wins by default.
the first one the two spikes on the right are the same. the one on the left is facing the other way so the best choice is A and not E. cuz E shows that the middle two spikes are different
for the second one, its the side view, if u look closely u will realize that the "board" thats stuck in the hexagon is not that much thinner than the hexagon itself. this is easy to see when u have the answer, but if i was given this i probly woulda said A
