- Refer to the figure below. Which option continues the sequence of bar heights?
Answer: C. Three unequal-height bars forming a V shape
Each cell contains a tiny 3-bar histogram. Pattern across row: shift bars left cyclically. Down column: heights increment by one unit for outer bars. Missing cell must have outer bars tall, center bar short (V). Only C matches.
- Refer to the figure below. What shape belongs in the missing place?
Answer: D. Outlined hexagon
Number of sides increases by one moving right; fill alternates solid, outline. Starting with triangle solid. Bottom-right needs hexagon outline. D fits. Others don't match both rules.
- Refer to the figure below. Which fish faces the correct way to finish the matrix?
Answer: A. Striped fish facing left
Row pattern toggles stripe vs spot; column pattern toggles direction. Missing cell (row3 col3): row3 needs striped, column3 needs left-facing. A fits both. Others break at least one attribute.
- Refer to the figure below. Which picture completes the pattern of dot addition?
Answer: C. Triangle with 3 dots inside
Down a column, each cell gains one extra interior dot. Across a row, triangle rotates 120°. Blank is bottom-right: should have triangle rotated 240° with 3 dots (since top-right has 1, middle-right has 2). Only C has 3 dots. Others wrong dot count.
- Refer to the figure below. Which wheel goes in the last square?
Answer: A. Wheel with 4 spokes, dashed lines
The number of spokes increases down each column (2, 4, 6). The line style alternates between solid and dashed across each row. The missing cell in the third row, third column needs 4 spokes with dashed lines. Choice A matches this pattern.
- Refer to the figure below. Which option finishes the pattern in the lower-right corner?
Answer: D. Three vertical stripes and two dots
Stripes: move right, one additional stripe added each step; orientation alternates horizontal, vertical, horizontal down the column. Dots: each step down a column adds a dot. Missing cell needs 3 vertical stripes and 2 dots. Only D fits. A wrong orientation; B dot count wrong; C stripe orientation wrong.
- Refer to the figure below. Which clock should go in the empty square?
Answer: C. Analog clock showing 9:00
Across rows, time advances 3 hours; down columns subtracts 3 hours. Starting top-left at 12:00 leads to bottom-right at 9:00. Option C matches. Others wrong.
- Refer to the figure below. Pick the correct lightning bolt.
Answer: B. Thin bolt tilted right
Weight alternates thick-thin across columns; tilt alternates left-right down rows. Bottom-right requires thin right-tilted. B is correct; others mismatch thickness or tilt.
- Refer to the figure below. Which option keeps the sequence of shading consistent?
Answer: B. Square split diagonally, lower triangle shaded
Diagonal orientation rotates 90° clockwise each move right; shading alternates top vs bottom triangle. Missing cell must have diagonal from top-left to bottom-right (because two rotations) with lower triangle shaded. Answer B matches. Others wrong cut or shaded half.
