Complete the Pair - Shading & Design Example

Complete the Pair - Shading

In this worked example, we will look at the type of question in which the shading of the shape is the important similarity.

Question

Does shape A, B, C or D complete the pair?

Start with the complete pair

The first arrow shows the pattern you need to use in order to choose the correct answer.

Look for patterns in lines ❌

Look for patterns in dots ✅

Look for patterns in shape ✅

Consider the second pair

We now need to apply the same pattern to the second pair to work out which image completes the pair.

Apply the pattern

By applying the pattern, we have found the form of the correct image.

Give the correct answer

Shape C is the correct answer as it matches the pattern of dots turning to solid colour, as well as the pattern of changing shape.
