Which piece completes the picture?
Look at the whole picture. Choose the piece that belongs in the empty space.
Show answer and explanation
Answer D. Compare the completed left/right pairs. Reflect left to right and exchange blue and yellow. Features not named by this rule stay unchanged. Compare all five choices, including partial changes.
- A: Changes the horizontal position of one object differently from the completed examples.
- B: Applies the rule to only some objects. Every relevant object must follow the same relationship.
- C: Changes the vertical position of one object differently from the completed examples.
- D: Applies the complete demonstrated rule to every relevant object.
- E: Repeats the starting arrangement instead of applying the complete rule.

Answer E. Each row uses the same spatial operation. First rotate the second grid a half turn. Combine the occupied cells of both grids; an occupied cell stays occupied even where they overlap. Align the grid boundaries, compare corresponding cells, and apply the operation to the last row.
- A: Uses common area instead of the relationship demonstrated by the completed rows.
- B: Uses exclusive area instead of the relationship demonstrated by the completed rows.
- C: Uses left only instead of the relationship demonstrated by the completed rows.
- D: Uses combine instead of the relationship demonstrated by the completed rows.
- E: Applies the demonstrated spatial combination to the final two grids.

Practice together, without pressure
Have your learner state a rule precisely, then check it against a second part of the diagram.
Ask “Which clue helped you decide?” and “Why does another choice not fit?” The easy, medium and challenge labels are editorial estimates within this level.
