You’re asked to
extend the ABAB patterns in each row. Let’s break this down step by step.

What is an ABAB pattern?
An
ABAB pattern means the sequence alternates between two different elements — A, then B, then A, then B, and so on.
Examples:
- Red, Blue, Red, Blue → ABAB
- Orange, Green, Orange, Green → ABAB
- Purple, Yellow, Purple, Yellow → ABAB
So, to extend the pattern, we just continue alternating A and B.

## Row 1: Circles (Red and Blue)
Given:
🔴 🔵 🔴 🔵 → This is
A B A B
Next should be:
A B A B → So after 🔵, we go back to 🔴, then 🔵, then 🔴, then 🔵
✔ Extended pattern:
🔴 🔵 🔴 🔵
🔴 🔵 🔴 🔵
---
## Row 2: Squares (Orange and Green)
Given:
🟠 🟢 🟠 🟢 → Again,
A B A B
Extend with:
A B A B → So next: 🟠 🟢 🟠 🟢
✔ Extended pattern:
🟠 🟢 🟠 🟢
🟠 🟢 🟠 🟢
---
## Row 3: Triangles (Purple and Yellow)
Given:
🟣 🟡 🟣 🟡 → Still
A B A B
Extend with:
A B A B → So next: 🟣 🟡 🟣 🟡
✔ Extended pattern:
🟣 🟡 🟣 🟡
🟣 🟡 🟣 🟡
---
## Final Answer:
Row 1 (Circles):
🔴 🔵 🔴 🔵
🔴 🔵 🔴 🔵
Row 2 (Squares):
🟠 🟢 🟠 🟢
🟠 🟢 🟠 🟢
Row 3 (Triangles):
🟣 🟡 🟣 🟡
🟣 🟡 🟣 🟡
---
✔ All extended correctly following the
ABAB pattern — alternating the two colors/shapes in each row.
