Where is the centre of the storm in this case? It said touch the nearest red spot to the centre but I couldn't see a red spot. I classified this as a shear because of the straightish edge at the top but I'm not convinced.

Hi Chessica22,
For a shear storm the user should click where they think the centre is (which may be away from the clouds) and then click on the nearest red cloud to the centre which marks the edge of the cold (high) clouds associated with the storm. So, its finding the location (spot) of red cloud closest to the centre of circulation.
I would classify this as either shear or curved band. On balance I would probably go for a weak curved band (second of the 5 options for curved band) with the centre somewhere centre to left within the southern flank of the clouds. You can see some evidence of curvature and circulation spinning into this area.
