Let’s go through each problem one by one. We’re looking at how the shape moves from left to right — is it flipped (reflection), turned (rotation), or slid (translation)?

Problem 1: Irons
The iron on the right looks like a mirror image of the one on the left — it’s flipped horizontally.
→ That’s
reflection.
Problem 2: Houses
Both houses are identical and in the same orientation — just moved to the right. No flip, no turn.
→ That’s
translation.
Problem 3: Books
The book on the right is rotated — you can see the spine is now on top instead of the side. It’s been turned.
→ That’s
rotation.
Problem 4: Globes
Same as the houses — globe on the right is exactly the same, just shifted right.
→ That’s
translation.
Problem 5: Rabbits
Rabbits are facing the same direction, same pose — just moved over.
→ That’s
translation.
Problem 6: Fish
The fish on the right is upside down compared to the left one — it’s been flipped vertically.
→ That’s
reflection.
Problem 7: Spiders
The spider on the right is a mirror image — its legs are flipped left-to-right.
→ That’s
reflection.
Problem 8: Watering Cans
The watering can on the right is tilted differently — it’s been turned clockwise.
→ That’s
rotation.

1) reflection
