Choose the correct option:
Correct Answer
D. D
Explanation
In this sequence, each step features a single black square that moves within the grid. The pattern involves the square moving to the next unoccupied space in a clockwise direction. When the square reaches a corner, it "wraps around" to the next side of the grid. Option D accurately depicts this movement, as it shows the black square occupying the next available space following the established pattern of movement from the previous images.

Choose the correct option:
Correct Answer
D. D
Explanation
In this sequence, each step features a pair of shapes (black squares, blue squares, red squares, or green circles) that move within the grid. The pattern involves the shapes moving to the next unoccupied space in a clockwise direction around the perimeter of the grid. When a shape reaches a corner, it "wraps around" to the next side. Option D accurately depicts this movement, as it shows the pair of open circles occupying the next available spaces following the established pattern of movement from the previous images.
6.
Choose the correct option:
Correct Answer
B. B
Explanation
In this sequence, each step features a pair of colored squares (red or blue) or a pair of green circles. The pattern is not based on the movement of the shapes, but rather on the progression of colors. The sequence follows this color order: red, blue, green, and then back to red. Option B correctly depicts this color transition, as it shows the green circles from the previous step changing to red squares. This aligns with the color transformations observed in the sequence, where each color gives way to the next in the established order.
7.
Choose the correct option:
Correct Answer
B. B
Explanation
In this sequence, each step features a set of colored circles (green, red, and blue) and a black square within the grid. The pattern is one of centralization, where the elements progressively move towards the center of the grid. The black square takes a step inward with each progression, while the colored circles follow a similar pattern, occupying the positions vacated by the black square as they move inward. Option B accurately captures this centralization, with the black square now positioned in the center of the grid and the colored circles forming the inner ring around it. This maintains the established pattern of inward movement observed in the sequence.

Choose the correct option:
Correct Answer
E. E
Explanation
Option E accurately depicts this pattern. It shows the lines from the previous step rotated 90 degrees clockwise, with intersecting lines merging to form a single line. The circle has also moved to a different position within the grid, maintaining the pattern of unpredictable movement. This combination of transformations aligns with the changes observed throughout the sequence.
9.
Choose the correct option:
Correct Answer
E. E
Explanation
In this sequence, each step features a series of nested squares. The pattern involves the squares being progressively disassembled and then reassembled into a new configuration. Each step removes one "layer" of the squares. Option E accurately depicts the final step in this disassembly and reassembly process. Only the two smallest squares remain, now separated from each other, which aligns with the pattern of step-by-step deconstruction and eventual reconfiguration observed in the sequence.
10.
Choose the correct option:
Correct Answer
E. E
Explanation
The pattern involves a blue square moving clockwise around the grid, occupying each corner and the center in a sequential manner. The black squares remain stationary throughout the sequence. By identifying this movement pattern and extrapolating it to the next step, we can determine the correct placement of the blue square in the missing frame.

Choose the correct option:
Correct Answer
D. D
Explanation
In this sequence, each step features a blue triangle changing its position and orientation within a grid. The pattern involves the triangle rotating 90 degrees clockwise and then moving to the next corner of the grid in a clockwise direction. Option D accurately captures this pattern, showing the triangle rotated 90 degrees clockwise from its position in the previous step and relocated to the next corner of the grid. This movement aligns with the established pattern of rotation and relocation observed throughout the sequence.
12.
Choose the correct option:
Correct Answer
B. B
Explanation
This visual puzzle shows four shapes—a black square, a red circle, a blue square, and a green circle—each following a unique movement pattern within a grid. The black and red shapes move one space clockwise and counter-clockwise, respectively, while the blue square moves two spaces clockwise. The green circle appears in the center only when the other shapes are on the perimeter. Option B correctly represents this pattern, with the green circle in the center and the other shapes positioned according to their individual movement rules.
13.
Choose the correct option:
Correct Answer
C. C
Explanation
This sequence shows a progression of shapes with increasing line complexity. Each step adds a new parallel line to every existing line within the shape, while the overall shape itself also changes. Option C correctly follows this pattern, featuring a square with 23 lines formed by doubling the lines of the previous octagonal shape and adding dividing lines.
14.
Choose the correct option:
Correct Answer
A. A
Explanation
In this visual reasoning puzzle, a series of 3x3 grids features a cyclical pattern of shapes: circle, cross, and square, which repeats in each row but starts with a different shape. For example, one row may begin with a circle, followed by a cross and a square, while another row starts with a square, then a circle, and concludes with a cross. Upon analyzing the options, it becomes clear that only option A consistently follows this established row-based pattern, while the other options disrupt the cyclical order of shapes. Thus, option A is the correct choice that logically continues the sequence.
15.
Choose the correct option:
Correct Answer
C. C
Explanation
The sequence of shapes demonstrates a clear evolution through various transformations. Initially, the triangle rotates 90 degrees clockwise with each step. In the second step, a horizontal line is added, which then morphs into a wavy line in the third step. The fourth step combines the rotated triangle and the wavy line to form a partially open box. Following this progression, the next logical step is the completion of the box, which is accurately represented by option C, featuring a closed box with a small triangular protrusion on the side. This aligns perfectly with the observed transformations throughout the sequence.
16.
Choose the correct option:
Correct Answer
D. D
Explanation
This sequence uses black dots to represent square numbers in a descending order, starting with 25 dots (5 squared) and decreasing to 4 dots (2 squared). Option D, with a single dot representing 1 squared, is the correct answer as it continues the pattern of decreasing square numbers. Option E is incorrect because it breaks the established pattern of the dots decreasing towards the upper left corner of the grid.
17.
Choose the correct option:
Correct Answer
E. E
Explanation
This visual reasoning puzzle features grids with red and blue triangles, showcasing a pattern of transformations that include rotation, position swapping, and reflection. Each step sees the triangles rotating 90 degrees clockwise while simultaneously swapping their positions; the red triangle takes the blue triangle's spot and vice versa. Additionally, the triangles undergo a reflection, appearing as mirror images of their previous orientation. Option E effectively captures these transformations by incorporating the 90-degree clockwise rotation, the position swap, and the reflection, thereby aligning perfectly with the observed changes throughout the sequence.
18.
Choose the correct option:
Correct Answer
A. A
Explanation
This sequence focuses on the lines within the first square of each image, showing a decreasing number of lines that alternate between horizontal and vertical orientations. The first image has five horizontal lines, followed by four vertical lines in the second, then three horizontal lines in the third. The fourth image concludes this initial pattern with two vertical lines. Therefore, the sequence continues with option A, which correctly displays one horizontal line, further decreasing the number of lines and maintaining the alternating orientation.
19.
Choose the correct option:
Correct Answer
B. B
Explanation
This sequence presents a pattern of rotating lines with a specific line thickening with each rotation. The lines rotate 45 degrees clockwise in each step. As the lines rotate, one line in the sequence thickens, creating a visual emphasis. This thickening progresses in a clockwise direction, moving to the next line in the sequence with each step. Option B correctly captures this pattern by showing the lines rotated 45 degrees clockwise from the previous step, with the horizontal line now thicker, following the clockwise progression of the emphasized line.
20.
Choose the correct option:
Correct Answer
D. D
Explanation
The pattern between the grids involves reshuffling the colors (red, green, blue, black) and shapes (circle, square, triangle, X, V) while maintaining their presence across all grids. In the top row, the arrangement of colors and shapes varies but follows a consistent pattern of shuffling. Applying this logic to the bottom row, Option D is the most fitting as it maintains the same transformation of shapes and colors from the first two grids, matching the positional shifts seen in the top row. Therefore, Option D is the correct answer
