- A. Large star at centre; small solid arrow pointing up at top left
- B. Large solid star at centre; small solid arrow pointing up at top left
- C. Large star at centre; small solid arrow pointing up at top left
- D. Large star at centre; small solid arrow pointing up at top right
Explanation: The final row must contain a star, and the final column requires a 180 degree rotation.
Correct answer: Large star at centre; small solid arrow pointing up at top left- A. Solid hexagon at centre; small dot at bottom left; small dot at bottom right
- B. Half-shaded hexagon, shaded right at centre; small dot at bottom left; small dot at bottom right
- C. Solid hexagon at centre; small dot at bottom left; small dot at bottom right
- D. Solid hexagon at centre; small dot at middle left; small dot at bottom right
Explanation: The bottom row requires a solid hexagon, and the third column requires a 90 degree rotation.
Correct answer: Solid hexagon at centre; small dot at bottom left; small dot at bottom right- A. Triangle pointing up at bottom right
- B. Square at bottom right
- C. Triangle pointing up at bottom centre
- D. Triangle pointing right at bottom right
Explanation: The first row contains circles, the second squares, and the third triangles.
Correct answer: Triangle pointing up at bottom right- A. Solid triangle pointing right at centre
- B. Half-shaded triangle pointing right at centre
- C. Solid triangle pointing up-right at centre
- D. Solid square at centre
Explanation: The bottom row must continue with a triangle, and its fill remains solid. Across the row the rotations are 0, 45, and 90 degrees.
Correct answer: Solid triangle pointing right at centre- A. Star at bottom right; small dot at bottom centre
- B. Solid star at bottom right; small dot at bottom centre
- C. Star at bottom centre; small dot at bottom centre
- D. Star at bottom right; small dot at bottom centre
Explanation: The third row uses stars rotated 180 degrees, with the main shape moving to bottom right in the third column.
Correct answer: Star at bottom right; small dot at bottom centre- A. Solid triangle pointing right at centre; small dot at top left; small dot at top right; small dot at bottom right
- B. Half-shaded triangle pointing right at centre; small dot at top left; small dot at top right; small dot at bottom right
- C. Solid triangle pointing up-right at centre; small dot at top left; small dot at top right; small dot at bottom right
- D. Solid triangle pointing right at centre; small dot at top left; small dot at top right; small dot at bottom centre
Explanation: The final row requires a triangle rotated 90 degrees. The third column requires solid fill and exactly three dots, located at the…
Correct answer: Solid triangle pointing right at centre; small dot at top left; small dot at top right; small dot at bottom right- A. Solid hexagon at bottom right
- B. Solid triangle pointing up at bottom right
- C. Solid hexagon at bottom centre
- D. Solid hexagon at bottom right
Explanation: The first column contains circles at the left positions, the second contains squares at the centre positions, and the third contains…
Correct answer: Solid hexagon at bottom right- A. Solid star at centre
- B. Solid star at centre
- C. Solid pentagon at centre
- D. Half-shaded star, shaded right at centre
Explanation: The right column always contains stars, and the third row uses a 90 degree rotation.
Correct answer: Solid star at centre- A. Solid pentagon at centre; small line (horizontal) at top centre
- B. Solid pentagon at centre; small line (diagonal) at top centre
- C. Half-shaded pentagon, shaded up at centre; small line (horizontal) at top centre
- D. Solid square at centre; small line (horizontal) at top centre
Explanation: The third row uses pentagons, and its third column must have solid fill. The small line in the third column is always turned 90 degrees.
Correct answer: Solid pentagon at centre; small line (horizontal) at top centre- A. Solid pentagon at centre; small dot at bottom centre
- B. Solid pentagon at centre; small dot at bottom centre
- C. Pentagon at centre; small dot at bottom centre
- D. Solid arrow pointing down at centre; small dot at bottom centre
Explanation: The third row must continue arrow, triangle, pentagon, so the missing main shape is a pentagon.
Correct answer: Solid pentagon at centre; small dot at bottom centre- A. Solid arrow pointing up at centre
- B. Arrow pointing up at centre
- C. Solid pentagon at centre
- D. Solid circle at centre
Explanation: The first row is a circle with the three fills, and the second row repeats this pattern with a pentagon.
Correct answer: Solid arrow pointing up at centre- A. Semicircle pointing down at centre
- B. Semicircle pointing right at centre
- C. Arrow pointing down at centre
- D. Star at centre
Explanation: The columns contain pentagons, stars and semicircles respectively. The rows show rotations of 0, 90 and 180 degrees, so the missing cell…
Correct answer: Semicircle pointing down at centre- A. Small solid arrow pointing up at bottom right
- B. Small solid arrow pointing up at bottom centre
- C. Small solid arrow pointing right at bottom right
- D. Small solid pentagon at bottom right
Explanation: The third row already establishes an arrow in the top-left and centre positions, with none and half fill.
Correct answer: Small solid arrow pointing up at bottom right- A. Arrow pointing down at centre; small solid circle at centre
- B. Arrow pointing right at centre; small solid circle at centre
- C. Arrow pointing down at centre; small half-shaded circle, shaded up at centre
- D. Pentagon at centre; small solid circle at centre
Explanation: The third row must continue the arrow across its three columns, so its missing outer rotation is 180 degrees.
Correct answer: Arrow pointing down at centre; small solid circle at centre- A. Solid semicircle pointing left at bottom right
- B. Solid semicircle pointing down-left at bottom right
- C. Half-shaded semicircle pointing left at bottom right
- D. Solid arrow pointing left at bottom right
Explanation: The missing cell is in the third column and bottom row, so it must use solid fill, the bottom-right position and a 270-degree rotation.
Correct answer: Solid semicircle pointing left at bottom right- A. Pentagon at centre
- B. Hexagon at centre
- C. Star at centre
- D. Square at centre
Explanation: The first row is pentagon, hexagon, star. The second row starts with hexagon, and the third starts with star, so the final figure must be…
