I was once an editor in a major publisher's mental ability test division, and I cringed when I saw this question. The question is framed badly, and either none of the responses or all of the responses could logically be defended as correct because of the nature of the question. Ugh. As a reviewing editor, I would have rejected the question and possibly the whole test.

When I was a kid I always found that more than one of the responses on these kinds of tests would fit. I made a game of it- I tried to find an argument for each choice (almost always successful) Then I'd choose the one with the most attractive picture. I doubt I ever scored very well but I had fun making arguments for each picture. In this case here, I'd have certainly chosen the cat regardless of the question, but I doubt I'd have found an argument for their "correct answer" - namely the shot. The picture of the kid yawning would make sense, as another commenter here said - get a good night's sleep!
