Answer Key — CAT4 Grade 3

1. D — In the top row, the figure shrinks. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives D. The others each make a specific mistake: A right change, wrong figure shape; B the bottom figure with no rule applied; C applies a different rule than the top row shows; E a look-alike that doesn't follow the rule.
2. A — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once. That gives A. The others: B loses one mark in the merge; C the merged design slid one place; D keeps only the second design; E keeps only the first design.
3. D — The relationship is "body part to what it does." eyes → see, so feet → walk.
4. C — The pattern adds 8 each time. 32 + 8 = 40.
5. A — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives A. The others each make a specific mistake: B copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; C right change, wrong figure shape; D the bottom figure with no rule applied; E applies the change twice.
6. B — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once. That gives B. The others: A keeps only the second design; C invents a mark neither design has; D keeps only the first design; E the merged design slid one place.
7. B — The relationship is "action to its opposite." whisper → shout, so give → take.
8. B — The pattern subtracts 6 each time. 23 − 6 = 17.
9. B — In the top row, a smaller copy appears inside. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives B. The others each make a specific mistake: A applies a different rule than the top row shows; C a look-alike that doesn't follow the rule; D right change, wrong figure shape; E the bottom figure with no rule applied.
10. A — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once. That gives A. The others: B the merged design slid one place; C keeps only the second design; D loses one mark in the merge; E keeps only the first design.
11. D — The relationship is "action to its opposite." ask → answer, so throw → catch.
12. A — The pattern subtracts 3 each time. 41 − 3 = 38.
13. A — In the top row, a smaller copy appears inside. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives A. The others each make a specific mistake: B applies a different rule than the top row shows; C copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; D right change, wrong figure shape; E the bottom figure with no rule applied.
14. C — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once. That gives C. The others: A loses one mark in the merge; B the merged design slid one place; D invents a mark neither design has; E keeps only the first design.
15. B — The relationship is "body part to what it does." eyes → see, so hands → clap.
16. C — The pattern subtracts 7 each time. 24 − 7 = 17.
17. C — In the top row, a smaller copy appears inside. Applying the same change to the bottom figure gives C. The others each make a specific mistake: A copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; B a look-alike that doesn't follow the rule; D applies a different rule than the top row shows; E the bottom figure with no rule applied.
18. A — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once. That gives A. The others: B keeps only the first design; C the merged design slid one place; D loses one mark in the merge; E keeps only the second design.
19. C — The relationship is "item to the room it belongs in." desk → classroom, so couch → living room.
20. C — The pattern subtracts 6 each time. 29 − 6 = 23.
