1. **Problem Statement:** Meg is playing with a toy shaped like a hexagonal prism divided into six triangular faces. Three alternate triangular faces are shaded, each with a white circle in the center. We need to determine which of the options (A), (B), (C), (D), or (E) matches this pattern. 2. **Understanding the Toy's Pattern:** The toy has six triangular faces arranged around the prism. The shading pattern is such that three shaded faces alternate with three unshaded faces. This means no two shaded faces are adjacent; they are separated by one unshaded face each. 3. **Analyzing Each Option:** - (A) Three shaded faces are adjacent to each other, which does not match the alternating pattern. - (B) Three shaded faces alternate with unshaded ones, matching the alternating pattern. - (C) Three shaded faces arranged with one unshaded face between each shaded face, which also matches the alternating pattern. - (D) Two shaded faces are adjacent, so it does not match the alternating pattern. - (E) Only two shaded faces adjacent, so it does not match. 4. **Distinguishing Between (B) and (C):** Both (B) and (C) have three shaded faces alternating with unshaded faces. However, the problem states the shaded faces have a white circle in the center, which is shown only in (C). Also, (C) explicitly shows the alternating pattern with one unshaded face between each shaded face. 5. **Conclusion:** The correct match is option (C) because it accurately represents the alternating shaded triangular faces with the white circle in the center, matching the toy's description. **Final answer:** Option (C) is the correct toy matching Meg's spinning toy pattern.
