I'll solve this pattern completion task by analyzing each row and determining what comes next.
Looking at the image, I can see three rows of fruit patterns that need to be completed, with three options at the bottom (watermelon, banana, orange) to choose from for each blank space.
Let me analyze each row one by one:
First row: Orange, Cherry, Orange, Cherry, [blank]
This is a simple ABAB pattern where A=Orange and B=Cherry. The pattern alternates between these two fruits. Since the last visible fruit is Cherry (B), the next should be Orange (A).
Second row: Watermelon, Lemon, Watermelon, Lemon, [blank]
This is also an ABAB pattern where A=Watermelon and B=Lemon. The pattern alternates between these two fruits. Since the last visible fruit is Lemon (B), the next should be Watermelon (A).
Third row: Banana, Grapes, Banana, Grapes, [blank]
This is another ABAB pattern where A=Banana and B=Grapes. The pattern alternates between these two fruits. Since the last visible fruit is Grapes (B), the next should be Banana (A).
Now I'll check the answer choices at the bottom:
- First choice: Watermelon
- Second choice: Banana
- Third choice: Orange
Based on my analysis:
- First blank should be Orange
- Second blank should be Watermelon
- Third blank should be Banana
Therefore, the correct answers are:
1. Orange (third option)
2. Watermelon (first option)
3. Banana (second option)
The solution is to paste the orange in the first blank, the watermelon in the second blank, and the banana in the third blank.
