CAT4 Practice Pack — Grade 5

Answer Key — CAT4 Grade 5

1. 1. B — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step and the figure shrinks. 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 only one of the two changes; D right change, wrong figure shape; E copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure.
2. 2. 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 keeps only the second design; D invents a mark neither design has; E the merged design slid one place.
3. 3. C — The relationship is "worker to their workplace." farmer → farm, so librarian → library.
4. 4. B — The pattern subtracts 6 each time. 30 − 6 = 24.
5. 5. B — In the top row, the figure's fill darkens one step and 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 applies the change twice; D right change, wrong figure shape; E applies only one of the two changes.
6. 6. D — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once. That gives D. The others: A the merged design slid one place; B loses one mark in the merge; C keeps only the first design; E keeps only the second design.
7. 7. D — The relationship is "worker to their workplace." actor → stage, so sailor → ship.
8. 8. B — These are square numbers: 1², 2², … Next is 5² = 25.
9. 9. A — In the top row, the figure shrinks and the figure doubles. 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 only one of the two changes.
10. 10. A — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once, and a mark both designs share appears once, not twice. That gives A. The others: B keeps only the marks the designs share; C invents a mark neither design has; D loses one mark in the merge; E keeps only the second design.
11. 11. A — The relationship is "worker to their workplace." pilot → cockpit, so sailor → ship.
12. 12. D — The pattern subtracts 4 each time. 36 − 4 = 32.
13. 13. D — In the top row, the figure grows and 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 copies the top row's result instead of transforming the bottom figure; B the bottom figure with no rule applied; C applies the change twice; E applies only one of the two changes.
14. 14. D — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once, and a mark both designs share appears once, not twice. That gives D. The others: A the merged design slid one place; B keeps only the first design; C keeps only the marks the designs share; E loses one mark in the merge.
15. 15. C — The relationship is "animal to its home." spider → web, so fish → aquarium.
16. 16. C — The pattern subtracts 2 each time. 38 − 2 = 36.
17. 17. A — In the top row, the figure grows and the figure doubles. 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 applies only one of the two changes; D applies a different rule than the top row shows; E the bottom figure with no rule applied.
18. 18. E — Lay one design over the other: every mark from both appears once, and a mark both designs share appears once, not twice. That gives E. The others: A keeps only the first design; B keeps only the marks the designs share; C the merged design slid one place; D keeps only the second design.
19. 19. C — The relationship is "action to its opposite." ask → answer, so sit → stand.
20. 20. C — These are square numbers: 3², 4², … Next is 7² = 49.
