Question:hard

The figures on the left form a related pair, and so do the two figures that follow. Study how figure 2 relates to figure 1, then apply the same relationship to figure 3 and pick the matching figure 4 from the options.

Show Hint

See exactly what changed, and what stayed fixed, between the first and second figures, then apply the same change to the third figure.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Use the figure 1 to figure 2 change as a template, then test it against each answer choice for figure 4.

  1. Option 1: shows the arrow flipped to the right, but the two dots sit further out than their original spots in figure 3, so the dots did not stay fixed as the rule demands, and it is rejected.
  2. Option 2: brings in a third dot that was never part of figure 3, breaking the one to one dot count carried over from figure 1 to figure 3, so it is rejected.
  3. Option 3: keeps both original dots exactly where figure 3 placed them and only swaps the vertex to the flipped side, exactly matching the figure 1 to figure 2 rule, so it is accepted.
  4. Option 4: is identical in orientation to figure 3 itself, meaning no flip was applied, so it is rejected.

Only option 3 respects both the fixed dot rule and the required 180 degree flip of the connecting lines.

Let's summarize:

  • Dots never move between the two figures in a pair.
  • Only the connecting lines flip.
  • Option 3 is the sole choice that keeps the dots fixed and flips only the lines.

So the missing figure is option 3.

\[ \boxed{\text{Option 3}} \]
