Correct answer: Square at centre- A. Solid square at centre
- B. Solid circle at centre
- C. Half-shaded square, shaded up at centre
- D. Square at centre
Explanation: The missing shape must be a square to continue the shape cycle in the bottom row.
Correct answer: Solid square at centre- A. Pentagon at centre
- B. Triangle pointing down at centre
- C. Pentagon at centre
- D. Half-shaded pentagon, shaded down at centre
Explanation: The bottom row must continue star, triangle, pentagon, so the missing shape is a pentagon.

- B. Solid star at centre; small dot at top centre
- C. Solid pentagon at centre; small dot at top centre
- D. Half-shaded pentagon, shaded right at centre; small dot at top centre
Explanation: The bottom row requires a pentagon in the third column. The third column gives 90 degrees, solid fill and a top-centre dot, so option A…
Correct answer: Solid pentagon at centre; small dot at top centre- A. Hexagon at centre
- B. Semicircle pointing up at centre
- C. Arrow pointing up at centre
- D. Plus sign at centre
Explanation: The shapes move one place left as the rows continue. The third row already has a semicircle followed by an arrow, so its final figure must…
Correct answer: Hexagon at centre- A. Arrow pointing down at centre
- B. Arrow pointing right at centre
- C. Triangle pointing down at centre
- D. Semicircle pointing down at centre
Explanation: The shape order shifts left in each new row. At the same time, the third column uses a 180-degree turn.

- B. Solid star at centre
- C. Solid pentagon at centre
- D. Solid triangle pointing up at centre
Explanation: The first row is pentagon, star, hexagon. The second row starts with star, and the third row starts with hexagon, so the missing figure…
Correct answer: Solid star at centre- A. Small dot at top left; small dot at top centre; small dot at top right; small dot at bottom left
- B. Small dot at top left; small dot at top centre; small dot at top right; small dot at bottom left; small dot at bottom right
- C. Small dot at top left; small dot at top right; small dot at bottom left; small dot at bottom right; small dot at centre
- D. Small dot at top left; small dot at top centre; small dot at top right; small dot at bottom left; small dot at bottom right; small dot at bottom centre
Explanation: The dot counts are 1, 2, 3 in the first row, then 2, 3, 4, and then 3, 4, 5. Therefore the bottom-right figure must contain five dots.
Correct answer: Small dot at top left; small dot at top centre; small dot at top right; small dot at bottom left; small dot at bottom right- A. Pentagon at centre
- B. Pentagon at centre
- C. Pentagon at centre
- D. Arrow pointing down at centre
Explanation: The third column contains pentagon in every row, and its rotations are 0, 90 and 180 degrees.
Correct answer: Pentagon at centre- A. Solid square at top left; solid square at centre; half-shaded square, shaded up at bottom right
- B. Solid square at top left; solid square at top right; solid square at bottom right
- C. Solid square at top left; solid square at bottom right
- D. Solid square at top left; solid square at centre; solid square at bottom right
Explanation: The bottom row must use solid squares, because the row shapes and fills are circle none, triangle half, and square solid.
Correct answer: Solid square at top left; solid square at centre; solid square at bottom right- A. Solid arrow pointing down-left at middle right; small dot at bottom right
- B. Solid arrow pointing left at middle right; small dot at bottom right
- C. Solid pentagon at middle right; small dot at bottom right
- D. Solid arrow pointing left at middle right; small dot at bottom centre
Explanation: The third row must continue semicircle, pentagon, arrow, so the main shape is an arrow.
Correct answer: Solid arrow pointing left at middle right; small dot at bottom right- A. Solid arrow pointing down at bottom right
- B. Solid arrow pointing right at bottom right
- C. Solid pentagon at bottom right
- D. Solid arrow pointing down at bottom centre
