Answer Key — CAT4 Grade 2

1. D — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives D. The others each make a specific mistake: A applies the change twice; B right change, wrong figure shape; C the bottom figure with no rule applied; E applies a different rule than the top row shows.
2. D — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once. That gives D. The others: A loses one mark in the merge; B keeps only the first design; C invents a mark neither design has; E the merged design slid one place.
3. D — The relationship is "worker to their workplace." baker → bakery, so sailor → ship.
4. D — The pattern subtracts 2 each time. 43 − 2 = 41.
5. B — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives B. The others each make a specific mistake: A applies the change twice; C copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; D the bottom figure with no rule applied; E right change, wrong figure shape.
6. E — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once. That gives E. The others: A keeps only the second design; B invents a mark neither design has; C keeps only the first design; D the merged design slid one place.
7. B — The relationship is "animal to its home." horse → stable, so spider → web.
8. B — The pattern adds 4 each time. 15 + 4 = 19.
9. D — In the top row, the figure grows. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives D. The others each make a specific mistake: A copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; B the bottom figure with no rule applied; C right change, wrong figure shape; E applies a different rule than the top row shows.
10. D — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once. That gives D. The others: A keeps only the first design; B keeps only the second design; C loses one mark in the merge; E invents a mark neither design has.
11. C — The relationship is "animal to the sound it makes." dog → bark, so bird → chirp.
12. C — Each number is multiplied by 2. 8 × 2 = 16.
13. B — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives B. The others each make a specific mistake: A the bottom figure with no rule applied; C applies a different rule than the top row shows; D copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; E right change, wrong figure shape.
14. C — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once. That gives C. The others: A keeps only the first design; B keeps only the second design; D invents a mark neither design has; E the merged design slid one place.
15. A — The relationship is "animal to its home." bird → nest, so fish → aquarium.
16. A — The pattern subtracts 5 each time. 23 − 5 = 18.
17. D — In the top row, the figure doubles. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives D. The others each make a specific mistake: A a look-alike that doesn't follow the rule; B copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; C the bottom figure with no rule applied; E applies a different rule than the top row shows.
18. C — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once. That gives C. The others: A keeps only the first design; B the merged design slid one place; D loses one mark in the merge; E invents a mark neither design has.
19. A — The relationship is "what it grows or turns into." puppy → dog, so bud → flower.
20. A — The pattern adds 4 each time. 14 + 4 = 18.
