# Complete the Set - Shading & Design Example

11+ Non-Verbal Reasoning, topic 3.4.1

## Complete the Set - Outlines

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

### Example question

![Example question](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2019-06/b0da0ef3-5951-4f17-86c8-b5856ca5e93c/NVR-Designs-Outlines%20(1).jpg)

- Which of shapes A, B, C or D is most like the three original shapes?

### Example - the given images

![Example - the given images](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2019-06/61ee846b-85c0-4b8c-8611-f767aaf239af/NVR-Designs-Outlines-1.jpg)

- The place to start is looking at the given images and trying to work out what similarities you can see.

### Example - the given images
