Let’s go row by row and find the pattern in each one. We’ll look at how the shapes repeat, then figure out what should come last.

---

Row 1:
🟩 🟩 🔺 🟩 🟩 ❓
Pattern: Two green stars, two purple triangles, two green stars... so next should be two purple triangles? But wait — we only need to fill the *last* shape. Let’s count positions:

1. Green star
2. Green star
3. Purple triangle
4. Purple triangle
5. Green star
6. Green star
7. ??? → Should follow the pattern: after two green stars comes two purple triangles → so position 7 is the first of the pair → Purple triangle

✔ Last shape for Row 1: Purple triangle

---

Row 2:
🔺 💙 🔺 🔺 💙 ❓
Pattern: Red triangle, blue heart, red triangle, blue heart, red triangle, blue heart...
It’s alternating every single shape! So after blue heart (position 6), next should be red triangle

✔ Last shape for Row 2: Red triangle

---

Row 3:
🟣 🟣 🧡 🧡 🟣 🟣 ❓
Pattern: Two purple circles, two orange cylinders, two purple circles...
So after two purple circles (positions 5–6), next should start the next pair → which would be orange cylinder

✔ Last shape for Row 3: Orange cylinder

---

Row 4:
☀️ 🟢 ☀️ 🟢 ❓
Pattern: Sun, green pentagon, green pentagon, sun, green pentagon, green pentagon...
So it repeats every 3: [Sun, Pent, Pent] → then again [Sun, Pent, Pent] → next should be Sun

✔ Last shape for Row 4: Sun

---

Row 5:
🟧 🟧 🔷 🟧 🟧 🔷 ❓
Pattern: Orange cube, orange cube, blue diamond, orange cube, orange cube, blue diamond...
Repeats every 3: [Cube, Cube, Diamond] → then again [Cube, Cube, Diamond] → next should be Orange cube

Wait — let’s check positions:

1. Cube
2. Cube
3. Diamond
4. Cube
5. Cube
6. Diamond
7. ??? → Next in pattern: starts new group → Cube

✔ Last shape for Row 5: Orange cube

---

Now let’s write down all final answers per row:

Row 1: Purple triangle
Row 2: Red triangle
Row 3: Orange cylinder
Row 4: Sun
Row 5: Orange cube

Final Answer:
Row 1: Purple triangle
Row 2: Red triangle
Row 3: Orange cylinder
Row 4: Sun
Row 5: Orange cube
