1. The sequence A D G J follows a pattern of increasing by 3 letters in the alphabet: A (1), D (4), G (7), J (10). The next letter is M (13).
2. The sequence 1 3 6 10 increases by adding consecutive integers: 1 (+2) = 3, 3 (+3) = 6, 6 (+4) = 10. The next increment is +5, so 10 + 5 = 15.
3. The sequence 1 1 2 3 5 follows the Fibonacci pattern, where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones: 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, 2 + 3 = 5. The next number is 3 + 5 = 8.
4. The sequence 21 20 18 15 11 decreases by increasing amounts: 21 to 20 is -1, 20 to 18 is -2, 18 to 15 is -3, 15 to 11 is -4. The next decrement is -5, so 11 - 5 = 6.
5. The sequence 8 6 7 5 6 4 decreases by 2, then increases by 1, repeating: 8 - 2 = 6, 6 + 1 = 7, 7 - 2 = 5, 5 + 1 = 6, 6 - 2 = 4. The next step is +1, so 4 + 1 = 5.
6. The sequence 40 35 34 29 28 23 decreases by 5, then 1, repeating: 40 - 5 = 35, 35 - 1 = 34, 34 - 5 = 29, 29 - 1 = 28, 28 - 5 = 23. The next step is -1, so 23 - 1 = 22.
7. The pattern alternates between horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and star-like crosses. The sequence is: horizontal (1), vertical (2), diagonal (3), star (4). The next is horizontal (1).
8. The pattern shows a sequence of shapes: a line, a triangle, a square, a circle. The next shape is a triangle.
9. The pattern alternates between a right angle and a left angle. The sequence is: right, left, right, left. The next is right.
10. The pattern shows a sequence of shapes: a square, a circle, a triangle, a star. The next shape is a circle.
11. The pattern shows a sequence of nested squares. The next is a smaller nested square.
12. The pattern shows a sequence of dots and lines. The next is a circle with two dots.
13. The pattern shows a sequence of lines and shapes. The next is a triangle.
14. The pattern shows a sequence of shapes: a triangle, a square, a circle, a star. The next is a triangle.
15. The pattern shows a sequence of dice with increasing numbers. The next is a die with 6 dots.
