Question
Question
- Does shape A, B, C or D complete the grid?


Find the rotation for the first line
Find the rotation for the first line
- The rotation used to make the sequence in the first line of the grid will help us find the missing image.

Confirm the rotation for the third line
Confirm the rotation for the third line
- We need to find the pattern in the third line and confirm that it is the same as the pattern in the first line.


90° clockwise rotation
90° clockwise rotation
- Continue as before, rotating the first image of the line in order to find the next image.

Apply the pattern to the second line
Apply the pattern to the second line
- Now we are sure of the pattern, we can use it to find the missing image in the grid.


180° clockwise rotation
180° clockwise rotation
- Rotate the middle shape by 180° to find the missing shape.
