- Scan the images:
- Bottom row, far right: A person with sunglasses and dark hair — but no hat.
- Row above that, second from right: Person with sunglasses and a beanie-like hat? Let’s check carefully.
- Actually, look at the third row from bottom, second from left: A person with sunglasses and a beanie (hat). Yes! That matches.
- Wait — is it a hat? The beanie is a hat.
- But let’s double-check: In the bottom row, the last person has sunglasses and a striped shirt — not a hat.
- Now check third row from top, first column: No.
- Look again: Fourth row from top, third from left — person with sunglasses and a cap? No, it's a bandana.
- Wait — fifth row from top, fourth from left: A man with sunglasses and a hat (beanie) — yes!
- That’s row 5, column 4 (counting from top-left as row 1, col 1).
