Question 1

In a figure matrix, the top row shows a small circle then a large circle, and the bottom row shows a small square then a blank. What completes the pattern?

Accepted Answer

A large square

Answer

The rule is 'gets larger,' so the small square becomes a large square.

Question 2

A matrix shows shapes rotating 90 degrees clockwise across each row. If the bottom-left figure is an arrow pointing up, what should the missing bottom-right figure show?

Accepted Answer

Arrow pointing right

Answer

A 90-degree clockwise rotation turns an up arrow into a right arrow.

Question 3

Each cell in a matrix adds one dot as you move right. The bottom row shows 2 dots then a blank. What belongs in the blank?

Accepted Answer

3 dots

Answer

The count increases by one each step, so 2 dots becomes 3 dots.

Question 4

A matrix shows a figure that changes color from white to black across the row. If the bottom-left shape is a white star, what is the missing bottom-right shape?

Accepted Answer

A black star

Answer

The shape stays the same but the color flips from white to black.

Question 5

In a matrix, each figure gains one extra side as you move down a column. A triangle is on top and a square is in the middle. What is at the bottom?

Accepted Answer

A pentagon

Answer

Adding one side to a square (4 sides) gives a pentagon (5 sides).
