Assuming I have the right question (shaded shapes), this is how I have explained it previously:

Question 11: Do my elimination. Both shapes are 4 sided so that eliminates B. Both have diagonal so that eliminates E. Both have shading at angle to diagonal so that eliminates C. You are left with A and D. It is D because the base is a horizontal as the two shapes are, as opposed to the base of A which is on a slant. You must be able to select features that eliminate down to only one possible solution.

Thankyou fm.
We did get our elimination to the point where we had only a and d left, but after that we were lost. Now, we get it.
Thankyou very much.
