CAT4 Figure Classification 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Three figures all show a shape with exactly one line of symmetry. Which property must the correct fourth figure also share?
- Exactly one line of symmetry (Correct answer)
- Two lines of symmetry
- No symmetry at all
- Rotational symmetry only
Correct answer: Exactly one line of symmetry
Figure classification requires the answer to share the common rule, here a single line of symmetry.
Question 2: A group of figures each contains 3 shaded sections out of 6 equal parts. What rule links them?
- Each figure is exactly half shaded (Correct answer)
- Each figure is fully shaded
- Each figure has one shaded part
- Each figure is unshaded
Correct answer: Each figure is exactly half shaded
Three of six equal parts shaded means each figure is exactly one-half shaded.
Question 3: Three figures are all four-sided shapes with one pair of parallel sides. Which figure belongs with them?
- A trapezoid (Correct answer)
- A triangle
- A pentagon
- A circle
Correct answer: A trapezoid
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides, matching the group rule.
Question 4: Each figure in a set has a small dot located inside the shape, never on the border. The odd-rule answer must show the dot where?
- Inside the shape (Correct answer)
- On the border
- Outside the shape
- Replacing the shape
Correct answer: Inside the shape
The shared rule places the dot strictly inside the figure.
Question 5: Three figures rotate a single arrow 90° clockwise each step. Which classification rule do they share?
- All show arrows in 90° increments (Correct answer)
- All show vertical arrows
- All show two arrows
- All show no arrows
Correct answer: All show arrows in 90° increments
The figures share a consistent 90° rotational increment of the arrow.
Question 6: A set of figures each has the same number of straight edges as it has corners. Which figure fits the rule?
- A square (Correct answer)
- A circle
- A crescent
- A spiral
Correct answer: A square
A square has four edges and four corners, satisfying edges-equal-corners.
Question 7: Three figures each combine a large shape with a smaller identical shape inside it. The answer must contain what?
- A small copy of the same shape inside (Correct answer)
- A different shape inside
- No inner shape
- Two inner shapes
Correct answer: A small copy of the same shape inside
The common rule nests a smaller copy of the same outer shape inside.
