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

90° clockwise rotation
- Rotate the first image in the sequence in order to find the next image.
180° clockwise rotation
270° clockwise rotation
Find the pattern for the first 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
- Continue as before, rotating the first image of the line in order to find the next image.
180° clockwise rotation
270° clockwise rotation
Confirm the pattern for the third 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
- Rotate the middle shape by 180° to find the missing shape.

Compare with answers
- Shape D is the missing shape in the grid as it is a 180° rotation of the middle shape.
