In a 3×3 matrix, shapes increase in size from column 1 (small) to column 2 (medium) to column 3 (large) across every row. The missing cell is in row 2, column 3. What size is the shape?
Answer: Large
Every row follows the same small-to-large size progression, so column 3 always contains a large shape.
Column 1 shows a shape alone, column 2 shows the shape with a nested inner copy of itself, and column 3 shows the shape with an inner copy plus a center dot. The missing row 2, column 3 cell contains a square with inner square and ___?
Answer: A center dot
Column 3 consistently adds a center dot to the outer-plus-inner-shape combination seen in column 2.
Row 1 contains pentagons, row 2 contains hexagons, and row 3 contains heptagons across all columns, with shapes decreasing in size left to right. The missing cell in row 3, column 3 shows a small ___?
Answer: Heptagon
Row 3 uses heptagons throughout, and column 3 shows the smallest version of the row's defining shape.
Every row in a matrix shows shapes morphing across columns: column 1 is a circle, column 2 is an oval, and column 3 is a rectangle. The missing cell is in row 3, column 3. What shape appears?
Answer: Rectangle
Column 3 always shows rectangles as the endpoint of the circular-to-rectangular morph sequence in every row.
A matrix shows shapes with increasing side counts per column: triangles (3 sides) in column 1, squares (4 sides) in column 2, and pentagons (5 sides) in column 3. The missing cell is in row 2, column 3. What shape appears?
Answer: Pentagon
Column 3 always contains pentagons, as the number of sides increases by exactly one per column.
In a matrix, a circle stretches horizontally per column: column 1 is a circle, column 2 is a moderate oval, and column 3 is a highly elongated ellipse. What does the missing column 3 cell show?
Answer: Highly elongated ellipse
The horizontal stretching progression always reaches its maximum elongation at column 3.
