Question 3

In a pattern where each figure is the previous one rotated 45° clockwise, if figure 1 is an arrow pointing up, what direction does figure 5 point?

Accepted Answer

Down

Answer

Figure 5 is 4 steps from figure 1: 4 × 45° = 180°. An arrow pointing up rotated 180° points down.

Question 4

A figure shows three shapes: a pentagon with a dot inside, a triangle with a dot inside, and a circle with no dot. Which shape is the odd one out?

Accepted Answer

Circle

Answer

The pentagon and triangle both have a dot inside; the circle does not. The circle is different because it lacks the interior dot.

Accepted Answer

16
