Question 1

A figure is rotated 90° clockwise at each step. After 4 rotations, the figure looks like it did at which step?

Accepted Answer

Step 1 (original)

Answer

Four 90° clockwise rotations equal 360°, returning the figure to its original orientation.

Question 2

In a 3×3 matrix, the number of sides of each shape increases by 1 across each row and by 1 down each column. The top-left shape is a triangle. What shape is in the bottom-right corner?

Accepted Answer

Heptagon (7 sides)

Answer

Top-left = 3 sides; adding 2 across and 2 down gives bottom-right = 3+2+2 = 7 sides, a heptagon.

Question 3

A pattern alternates between a filled shape and an unfilled shape. Every third item is always a star. The sequence starts: filled circle, unfilled circle, star, filled circle, unfilled circle, ? What is item 6?

Accepted Answer

Star

Answer

The cycle is filled circle, unfilled circle, star — repeating every three items, so item 6 is a star.

Question 4

Each figure in a series is a mirror image of the previous one (reflected horizontally). Figure 1 has an arrow pointing upper-right. Figure 3 points in which direction?

Accepted Answer

Upper-right

Answer

Two horizontal reflections cancel out, so Figure 3 is identical to Figure 1, pointing upper-right.

Question 5

In a shape analogy: Large circle is to small circle as large square is to ___.

Accepted Answer

Small square

Answer

The rule reduces size while keeping shape type, so large square becomes small square.
