The missing box has unshaded squares, a shaded circle in the upper left corner, and a triangle pointing down. Answer: D

You have to focus on box 1 (top left) and box 2 (top right) and to find the pattern. Apply the logic from the top row for box 3 (bottom left) and box 4 (bottom right). The square of box 1 retains its location in box 2. The arrow and the circle of box 1 are moved one step counterclockwise in box 2. Following the logic from the top row, we find out that the correct answer is A.

You have to focus on box 1 (top left) and box 2 (top right) and to find the pattern. Apply the logic from the top row for box 3 (bottom left) and box 4 (bottom right).

The group of hexagons in box 1 is reflected in box 2. Following the logic from the top row, we find out that the correct answer is D.

Rule 1: From left to right, the shape from the first column rotates 45 degrees clockwise in the third column. This pattern continues onto the next row.
Rule 2: From left to right, the shape from the second column rotates 45 degrees counterclockwise in the third column. This pattern continues onto the next row.
Rule 3: From left to right, the third column contains the shapes from the first and second columns.
The missing box has a 45-degree rotating star and a rectangle from the upper left to the lower right corner. Answer: D

Rule 1: From left to right, the diagonal alternates from lower left to upper right and from upper left to lower right corner. This pattern continues onto the next row.
Rule 2: From left to right, the arrow moves clockwise. This pattern continues onto the next row.
Rule 3: From left to right, the square alternates in the lower left corner, in the middle and in the upper right corner. This pattern continues onto the next row.
The missing box has a diagonal from the upper left corner to the lower right, a square in the middle and an arrow on the left side of the box pointing up. Answer: C

You have to focus on box 1 (top left) and box 2 (top right) and to find the pattern. Apply the logic from the top row for box 3 (bottom left) and box 4 (bottom right). The upper two arrows in box 1 change direction from the upper left corner to the lower left corner in box 2. The lower two arrows in box 1 change direction from the upper right corner in box 1 to the lower right corner in box 2. The triangle doubles in box 2 as the two triangles are located next to each other with slight overlap. Following the logic from the top row, we find out that the correct answer is D.

Rule 1: From left to right, the shaded shapes are incremented clockwise on each row (existing unshaded shapes are shaded).
Rule 2: From left to right, the unshaded shapes disappear by one counterclockwise, starting from the last figure (from the left).
The missing box has 3 horizontal shaded squares and 2 unshaded from the upper right corner to the middle of the bottom of the box. Answer: A

Rule 1: From left to right, the square moves counterclockwise from one corner to the other. This pattern continues onto the next row.
Rule 2: From left to right, the diagonal line alternates from the upper left corner to the lower right and from the lower left to the upper right corner. This pattern continues onto the next row.
Rule 3: From top to bottom, the unshaded circle alternates at the top and bottom of the diagonal. The shaded circle moves one step down. When it reaches the bottom, it
begins to move one step up. This pattern continues onto the next column.
Note: When the shaded and unshaded circles match, the shaded one appears in front.
In the missing box, the diagonal will be from the upper left corner to the lower right corner. The unshaded circle is below, the shaded one on the middle step. Answer: D

Rule 1: From left to right, the triangle rotates 45 degrees clockwise. This pattern continues onto the next row.
Rule 2: From left to right, the hand rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise. This pattern continues onto the next row.
The missing box will have an arrow pointing down and a triangle pointing to the left. Answer: A

You have to focus on box 1 (top left) and box 2 (top right) and to find the pattern. Apply the logic from the top row for box 3 (bottom left) and box 4 (bottom right). The two semicircles of box 1 merge into one figure in box 2. In the middle of the circle in box 2 appears the same shape in reduced size and already shaded, the number of small shapes is the same as the number of sides of the large shape. The circle has one side and therefore there is only one circle in the middle. The rectangle of box 1 rotates 90 degrees in box 2. Following the logic from the top row, we find out that the correct answer is A.

Rule 1: From left to right, the shape in the last column has the same number of sides as the sum of the sides of the shapes in the first and second columns.
Rule 2: Shapes with odd sides are shaded and shapes with even sides are shaded.
Note: The circle counts as one side.
The missing box has a shape with 5 sides. The shape is shaded because it has odd sides. Answer: A

You have to focus on box 1 (top left) and box 2 (top right) and to find the pattern. Apply the logic from the top row for box 3 (bottom left) and box 4 (bottom right). The circle from box 1 is moved in the middle in box 2. The arrows from box 1 move in box 2 to the end of the direction they point. Following the logic from the top row, we find out that the correct answer is C.

You have to focus on box 1 (top left) and box 2 (top right) and to find the pattern. Apply the logic from the top row for box 3 (bottom left) and box 4 (bottom right). The set of circles from box 1 moves one step counterclockwise in box 2. The square from box 1 moves one step counterclockwise in box 2 from one side of the box to the other. The arrow from box 1 moves to the opposite corner in box 2. Following the logic from the top row, we find out that the correct answer is A.

Rule 1: From left to right, the set of shaded and unshaded squares rotates 90 degrees clockwise. This pattern continues onto the next row.
Rule 2: From left to right, the squares decrease by one. First the last shaded square is removed, then the last unshaded one and so on. This pattern continues onto the next row.
The missing box will have the first unshaded square of the set and the next shaded square. They will be located in the upper left corner. Answer: А

You have to focus on box 1 (top left) and box 2 (top right) and to find the pattern. Apply the logic from the top row for box 3 (bottom left) and box 4 (bottom right). The sum of the sides of the arrow in box 1 is equal to the sum of the sides of the unshaded shapes in box 2. Following the logic from the top row, we find out that the correct answer is A.

Rule 1: From left to right hexagon alternates between shaded and unshaded. This pattern continues onto the next row.
Rule 2: From left to right, the boxes in the first column do not have an unshaded circle, the second column has one in the lower left corner, and the third column has two unshaded circles – one in the lower left corner and one in the upper right corner.
Rule 3: From top to bottom, the boxes in the first row do not have a shaded circle, the second row has one in the upper left corner, and the third row has two shaded circles – one in the upper left corner and one in the lower right corner.
The missing box has an unshaded hexagon, a shaded circle in the upper left corner, and two unshaded ones in the lower left and upper right corners. Answer: A
