# Complete the Set - Similar Shapes Examples

11+ Non-Verbal Reasoning, topic 3.5.1

## Complete the Set - Similar Shapes

In these questions, you will be expected to identify a similarity between two images. You will then have to select a third image that also contains this feature.

### Question

![Question](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2019-06/d1169bbb-703b-4cd0-a5fa-47db86aeded0/SS1-1.jpg)

- Examine these two images very carefully and see if you can work out what the similarity is.

### First set of shapes
