Evaluate abstract geometric diagrams to discover the underlying transformation rule. Identify which figure or pair of figures logically satisfies the derived rule.
Examine the top set of paired diagrams to understand the relationship (rotation, shading, count, inversion, or scale).
Formulate an inductive rule that applies universally to the valid diagrams.
Compare the question diagram against your rule to determine the missing pair or figure.
Eliminate options that violate even a single geometric constraint.
Focus on rule consistency across shape count, orientation, and color fills.
