Let’s solve each row one by one. We’re looking for the shape that comes next in the pattern.
---
Row 1: ○ △ ○ △ ○ ?
Pattern: Circle, Triangle, Circle, Triangle, Circle → Next should be
Triangle
✔ Answer: △
---
Row 2: ☆ □ ☆ □ ☆ ?
Pattern: Star, Square, Star, Square, Star → Next should be
Square
✔ Answer: □
---
Row 3: ○ □ ○ □ ○ ?
Same as Row 1 but with square instead of triangle.
Circle, Square, Circle, Square, Circle → Next is
Square
✔ Answer: □
---
Row 4: □ ▭ □ ▭ □ ?
This is Rectangle (tall), then Rectangle (wide), repeating.
Wait — actually, looking closely: it’s a tall rectangle, then a wide rectangle? Or maybe just two different rectangles?
Actually, let’s look again:
It says: □ ▭ □ ▭ □ ?
If we assume “□” is a square and “▭” is a rectangle (wider), then pattern is:
Square, Wide Rectangle, Square, Wide Rectangle, Square → Next is
Wide Rectangle
But wait — in some fonts, they might both be called rectangles. Let’s check the actual shapes from the image description.
From your original problem, Row 4 is:
“□ ▭ □ ▭ □ ?”
Assuming “□” = square, “▭” = horizontal rectangle.
So pattern: Square, Horizontal Rect, Square, Horizontal Rect, Square → Next:
Horizontal Rect
✔ Answer: ▭
---
Row 5: ▽ △ ▽ △ ▽ ?
Inverted triangle, regular triangle, inverted, regular, inverted → Next should be
regular triangle
✔ Answer: △
---
Row 6: ○ ○ ▭ ○ ○ ?
Circle, Circle, Rectangle, Circle, Circle → So every third shape is a rectangle?
Positions:
1: ○
2: ○
3: ▭
4: ○
5: ○
6: ? → Should be ▭ to repeat the pattern every 3
Pattern: [○ ○ ▭] repeated → so position 6 is end of second group → should be ▭
✔ Answer: ▭
---
Row 7: ● ◎ ● ◎ ● ?
Small filled circle, big circle with dot inside, small filled, big with dot, small filled → Next should be
big circle with dot
✔ Answer: ◎
---
Now let’s list all answers in order:
Row 1: △
Row 2: □
Row 3: □
Row 4: ▭
Row 5: △
Row 6: ▭
Row 7: ◎
Final Answer:
△, □, □, ▭, △, ▭, ◎
