In this section, we will look at differences in the shading of shapes. ### Question ![Question](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2019-06/47bca91e-310d-407c-aff3-594a3f006d8b/OOO%20shading%201.png) - Is image A, B, C, D or E the odd one out? ### Look for pattern in solid shading ❌ ![Look for pattern in solid shading ❌](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2019-06/bf4591de-5d92-4f32-9fa1-881211990cfc/OOO%20shading%201a.png) ### Look for pattern in curved line shading ❌ ![Look for pattern in curved line shading ❌](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2019-06/e24e83af-b225-4662-aafd-ae9f6e94c3ce/OOO%20shading%201b.png) ### Look for pattern in straight line shading ✅ ![Look for pattern in straight line shading ✅](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2019-06/d9af65b3-0534-41f5-85f0-e978e11a490f/OOO%20shading%201c.png) - Four out of the five images contain a shape with straight line shading in the top right position. ### Give the correct answer ![Give the correct answer](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2019-06/a93aebcf-ffe8-496c-9626-189d5678f566/OOO%20shading%201d%20(1).png) - Image E is the correct answer as the shape with the straight line shading is in the top left position, whereas the other images have that shading in the top right position. ## Test yourself on Odd One Out - Shading Example - What is the similarity in all but one of these images? - Which image is the odd one out?
