Question: If you plant a mature sunflower in the place where the object shown in the photo once grew, which direction is its flower head most likely to face?
A. Toward the lower-right corner of the image
B. Toward the upper-left corner of the image
C. Fixed facing due east from the observer’s viewpoint
D. Pointing straight up toward the sky
Clues:
1. The image displays a cross-section of a tree trunk, showing its growth rings.
2. The center of the growth rings is not in the geometric center of the trunk slice; it is offset toward the upper-left.
3. The growth rings are visibly wider and more spaced out on the side of the trunk corresponding to the lower-right of the image.
4. The growth rings are narrower and more compressed on the side of the trunk corresponding to the upper-left of the image.
