Question

Which option will replace the question mark as the frog jumps in an animation sequence?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

In motion-sequence puzzles, track the natural order of real-life movement (start \(⇒\) mid-action \(⇒\) completion). The missing frame usually fits in between these phases.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Observe the sequence.
The images show a frog’s jump. The first frog crouches, then pushes off, then extends in mid-air, then descends. The missing frame occurs just before it lands on the ground.
Step 2: Recall frog jump mechanics.
A frog’s motion cycle: 
1. Crouch (prepare). 
2. Push off (legs extend). 
3. Mid-air extension (legs fully stretched). 
4. Descent and landing (legs fold to absorb shock). 
5. Back to crouch. 
Step 3: Match the missing stage.
The missing frame comes after mid-air extension but before final rest. Therefore, the correct replacement must show the frog landing with bent legs. Option (A) best represents this landing posture. 
Step 4: Conclude.
Thus, the missing animation frame is \(\boxed{\text{(A)}}\). 
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{(A)}} \]
