? A B C D  Correct answer: C — Option C

• See how the first arrow becomes the second: it turns 180° anticlockwise.

• Apply exactly the same turn to the third arrow.

• Option C shows that orientation.

1. As the first figure is to the second, so the third figure is to which option (A–D)? KEY TAKEAWAY A figure analogy tests a transformation, not the picture. Whatever maps the first pair must map the second pair — name it, then reapply it.

gap. [Matrix: combine counts]

? A B C D  Correct answer: D — Option D

• Look along each row: the dots in the third box equal the first two boxes ADDED together.

• Bottom row: 1 + 3 = 4 dots.

• Option D shows 4 dots.

[Next in sequence: rotation]

? A B C D  Correct answer: D — Option D

• Compare each arrow with the one before it: it turns 45° anticlockwise every step.

• Continue the turn once more past the last arrow shown.

• Only option D shows that exact orientation.

2. Work out the rule that links the boxes in each row, then choose the option (A–D) for the

3. Study the sequence, work out the rule, and choose the option (A–D) that comes next. KEY TAKEAWAY Here the rule runs along each row (combine the first two to get the third). Confirm it on the finished rows, then apply it to the gap. KEY TAKEAWAY A rotation sequence has one rule — a constant turn. Measure the angle between two steps and extend it; distractors use the wrong angle or direction.
