Let me work through each pattern step by step to find what comes next.

Pattern 1:
Duck, Parrot, Duck, Parrot, Duck, ___, ___
The pattern is: Duck, Parrot (repeating)
After the last shown items (Duck, Parrot), the next should be: Duck, Parrot

Pattern 2:
Flower, Flower, Hot Air Balloon, Flower, Flower, Hot Air Balloon, ___, ___
The pattern is: Flower, Flower, Hot Air Balloon (repeating)
After the last shown items (Hot Air Balloon, Flower), the next should be: Flower, Hot Air Balloon

Pattern 3:
Hat, Hat, Basket, Basket, Hat, ___, ___
The pattern is: Hat, Hat, Basket, Basket (repeating)
After the last shown items (Basket, Hat), the next should be: Hat, Basket

Wait, let me recount Pattern 3 more carefully:
Hat, Hat, Basket, Basket, Hat, Basket, Hat
Looking at the sequence: Hat(1), Hat(2), Basket(3), Basket(4), Hat(5), Basket(6), Hat(7)
Hmm, this doesn't seem right. Let me look again at the pattern structure.

Actually looking at it as groups: [Hat, Hat], [Basket, Basket], [Hat, ?]
If the pattern is pairs: Hat-Hat, Basket-Basket, then it should continue with Hat-Hat
So after Hat, the next should be: Hat, Basket

Let me reconsider - if we have: Hat, Hat, Basket, Basket, Hat, Basket, Hat
That's 7 items shown. The pattern seems to be: Hat, Hat, Basket, Basket repeating
Positions: 1-Hat, 2-Hat, 3-Basket, 4-Basket, 5-Hat, 6-Basket, 7-Hat
This doesn't match a simple repeat. Let me think differently.

Maybe it's: Hat, Hat, Basket, Basket, Hat, Hat, Basket...
So positions 5-6 should be Hat, Hat but we see Hat, Basket
Or maybe the pattern changes?

Let me try: Hat(1), Hat(2), Basket(3), Basket(4), Hat(5), Basket(6), Hat(7)
If I group as: (Hat, Hat), (Basket, Basket), (Hat, Basket), (Hat, ?)
That would make position 8 = Basket

But wait, that's not a clean repeating pattern. Let me try another approach:
What if it's alternating in a different way?
H, H, B, B, H, B, H, ...
Position 8 could be B to complete some symmetry?

Actually, I think the intended pattern is simpler: Hat, Hat, Basket, Basket repeating
So: H, H, B, B, H, H, B, B...
But the image shows: H, H, B, B, H, B, H
That means position 6 breaks the pattern (should be H but is B).

Let me assume there might be an error in my reading or the pattern is:
Hat appears twice, Basket appears twice, then it shifts?

Given the visible items end with: ..., Basket, Hat
And we need 2 more items, the most logical continuation of a "pairs" pattern would be: Hat, Basket

Pattern 4:
Volleyball, Bag, Volleyball, Bag, Volleyball, ___, ___
The pattern is: Volleyball, Bag (repeating)
After the last shown items (Bag, Volleyball), the next should be: Bag, Volleyball

Pattern 5:
Box, Dress, Dress, Box, Dress, ___, ___
Let me check: Box(1), Dress(2), Dress(3), Box(4), Dress(5), Dress(6), Box(7)
The pattern appears to be: Box, Dress, Dress (repeating)
After Box, Dress, the next should be: Dress, Box

Final Answer:
1) Duck, Parrot
2) Flower, Hot Air Balloon
3) Hat, Basket
4) Bag, Volleyball
5) Dress, Box
