Question 1

A 3x3 matrix has large shapes in the top row, medium shapes in the middle row, and small shapes in the bottom row. The bottom-right cell contains a medium pentagon. Which piece correctly replaces it?

Accepted Answer

Small pentagon

Answer

The bottom row rule requires small shapes, so the correct piece is a small pentagon.

Question 2

Each column in a pattern grid contains exactly one black shape, one gray shape, and one white shape. The third column already has a black square on top and a gray circle in the middle. What must appear at the bottom?

Accepted Answer

White shape

Answer

Since black and gray are taken, the bottom cell must be a white shape to satisfy the one-per-shade rule.

Question 3

A figure shows a large square with a pattern hole in its lower-left corner. Four answer options show differently sized and shaped pieces. The hole is a right-angled notch. Which piece fits?

Accepted Answer

A small square piece

Answer

A right-angled notch requires a small square piece with matching corners to fill the gap seamlessly.

Question 4

In a pattern, each shape gains one side per step: triangle (3 sides) → square (4 sides) → pentagon (5 sides) → ___. What comes next?

Accepted Answer

Hexagon

Answer

Adding one side to a pentagon (5) produces a hexagon (6 sides).

Question 5

A 3x3 matrix uses only X and O symbols. Each row and each column must contain exactly two X's and one O. The middle row has X, O, ___. The right column already has X at the top. What fills the blank?

Accepted Answer

X

Answer

The middle row needs two X's; with one X and one O placed, the missing symbol must be X.
