And the final answer is:

That was quite the stretch. The drawing that I made vaguely looks like what you're saying it should look like. But I don't understand the big line across the bottom portion. And the gap between the two halves. I would never have gotten this as one recognizable item. So this one was disappointing.

Yes i think this is a translation problem? From the uk here and 4 is still 3 away from 1. 4 is not 2 away from one?

The problem is that this is another mistake in the book. It can't be excused by saying there are two pieces between the shape and the required answer. One piece away is a Knight. Three (not two) pieces away results in two options, one of which is the answer required.
