Four figures are shown: a shaded circle, a shaded square, an unshaded circle, and an unshaded triangle. Which pair shares the MOST properties?
Answer: Shaded circle and unshaded circle
The shaded circle and unshaded circle share the same shape (circle), differing only in shading — one matching property out of two; however they share shape. The shaded circle and shaded square share shading but differ in shape. The pair sharing the most is shaded circle + unshaded circle (same shape).
In an analogy: circle is to sphere as square is to ___.
Answer: Cube
A circle is the 2D version of a sphere; similarly, a square is the 2D version of a cube.
An abstract test question reads: triangle : 3 :: octagon : ___.
Answer: 8
The analogy maps each shape to its number of sides; an octagon has 8 sides.
Figure A has 3 properties; Figure B shares 2 of them. Figure C shares only 1 property with Figure A. Figure D shares all 3. Which figure is most similar to Figure A?
Answer: Figure D
Figure D shares all 3 properties with Figure A, making it the most similar.
In a Venn diagram, the left circle contains triangles, the right circle contains shaded shapes, and the intersection contains shaded triangles. Where does an unshaded square belong?
Answer: Outside both circles
An unshaded square is neither a triangle nor a shaded shape, so it falls outside both circles.
A rule states: figures with an even number of sides are labeled E; figures with an odd number of sides are labeled O. A heptagon is labeled ___.
Answer: O
A heptagon has 7 sides; 7 is odd, so it is labeled O.
