Answer 1

The correct option is A Shapes 3 and 4

$\text{Say:}$Let’s read the question and observe the given images.

$\text{Ask:}$
$\bullet$ What do we have to do here?
Ans: We have to identify the shapes that are divided into quarters.

$\text{Say:}$When we divide a shape into two equal parts, the equal parts are called halves or half of the shape.
When we divide a shape into three equal parts, the equal parts are called thirds or a third of the shape.
When we divide a shape into four equal parts, the equal parts are called fourths or quarters.

$\text{Ask:}$
$\bullet$ How many parts is each shape divided into?
Ans: All the given shapes are divided into 4 parts.

$\bullet$ Do you think shape 1 is divided into equal parts? Why?
Ans: No because all four parts of shape 1 are of different sizes.

$\bullet$ Do you think shape 2 is divided into equal parts? Why?
Ans: No, because similar to shape 1 all four parts are of different sizes.

$\bullet$ Do you think shape 3 is divided into equal parts? Why?
Ans: Yes, because all four parts are of the same size.

$\bullet$ Do you think shape 4 is divided into equal parts? Why?
Ans: Yes, because all four parts are of the same size.

$\bullet$ So, which shapes are divided into quarters?
Ans: shapes 3 and 4.

Hence, Option A is correct.
