Let me carefully examine the image to understand the pattern.

The task is “WHAT COMES NEXT?” and says: *Identify the shape that comes next, color it.*

There are four rows. In each row:
- Left side: a sequence of colored (orange) shapes.
- Right side: three outlined (white) shapes — these are likely the answer choices.

I need to find the pattern in each row’s sequence and pick which of the three outlined shapes continues it.

Let me analyze each row one by one.

Row 1:
Shapes: cone, rectangular prism, rectangular prism, cone, cone, rectangular prism
So: C, R, R, C, C, R
What’s the pattern? Let's group:
- Positions: 1=C, 2=R, 3=R, 4=C, 5=C, 6=R
Looks like pairs? C, RR, CC, R — not clear.

Wait — maybe it's about symmetry or type:
Cone (round base, pointy top), rectangular prism (box).
Count how many of each: cones = positions 1,4,5 → 3 cones; prisms = 2,3,6 → 3 prisms. So equal count, but order?

Alternative idea: maybe it's alternating *groups*:
- Group 1: 1 cone
- Group 2: 2 prisms
- Group 3: 2 cones
- Then group 4 should be ? — we have only 1 prism at position 6, maybe incomplete? But there are 6 shapes.

Let me look at the right-side options for row 1:
- A tall rectangular prism (outline)
- A cone (outline)
So two options? Wait — actually, in the image, each row’s right side has three shapes. For row 1:
1. tall rectangular prism (vertical box)
2. cone
3. ??? Wait — looking again: it shows two shapes in row 1 right side? No — let me zoom in.

I should use the zoom tool to get precise view of each row’s right-side options.
