CCAT Spatial Reasoning: Odd One Out 4 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Four shapes are shown: a square with a dot in the center, a circle with a dot in the center, a triangle with a dot in the center, and a pentagon with NO dot. Which is the odd one out?
- Square with dot
- Circle with dot
- Triangle with dot
- Pentagon with no dot (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Pentagon with no dot
All other shapes contain a dot in the center; the pentagon does not.
Question 2: Which shape does NOT have a line of symmetry: equilateral triangle, scalene triangle, square, or regular hexagon?
- Equilateral triangle
- Scalene triangle (Correct answer)
- Square
- Regular hexagon
Correct answer: Scalene triangle
A scalene triangle has no equal sides and therefore no line of symmetry.
Question 3: Four figures each show a shape rotated 90°, except one which is reflected. Which is the odd one out if Figure A is rotated 90° CW, Figure B is rotated 90° CCW, Figure C is reflected horizontally, and Figure D is rotated 90° CW?
- Figure A
- Figure B
- Figure C (Correct answer)
- Figure D
Correct answer: Figure C
Figure C is a reflection, while all others are rotations.
Question 4: Three objects are 3D solids with curved surfaces (sphere, cylinder, cone), and one is a cube. Which is the odd one out?
- Sphere
- Cylinder
- Cone
- Cube (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Cube
The cube has only flat faces; all other shapes have at least one curved surface.
Question 5: Four patterns show shapes arranged in a 2×2 grid: three grids have one shaded shape and three unshaded, but one grid has two shaded shapes. Which grid is the odd one out?
- Grid A (1 shaded)
- Grid B (1 shaded)
- Grid C (2 shaded) (Correct answer)
- Grid D (1 shaded)
Correct answer: Grid C (2 shaded)
Grid C has two shaded shapes while all other grids have exactly one.
Question 6: Which of the following shapes has the MOST sides: triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, or hexagon?
- Triangle
- Quadrilateral
- Pentagon
- Hexagon (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Hexagon
A hexagon has 6 sides, more than the triangle (3), quadrilateral (4), or pentagon (5).
Question 7: Four images show a letter 'R' in different orientations: upright, rotated 90° CW, rotated 180°, and mirrored. Which is the odd one out?
- Upright R
- Rotated 90° CW
- Rotated 180°
- Mirrored R (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Mirrored R
The mirrored R is a reflection, while the others are all rotations of the same shape.
