I've been practicing puzzles for any psychometric exams, and I've come across a puzzle sequence I can't solve. Can anyone help?

Should be the one in the middle (option 3).

The middlemost shape loses a single side each time, while maintaining the 'skeleton' of the original shape - ruling out options 1 and 2.
The lines that go across the entire shape should have a similar orientation to those of the shapes preceding it - ruling out option 5.
Note that option 4 uses a side of the original middlemost shape that was also already removed - hence this is also incorrect.

Hope this makes sense

Thank you so much! I don't know why I didn't see it horizontally... I was looking at the skeleton structure vertically.
