Notice that answer choice 1 includes nearly all the necessary changes, but it is without a dark circle. Therefore the 2nd answer choice is the correct answer. Question \#2 Correct Answer: C Explanation: Identify the image that completes the pattern by examining how the series of shapes change across the rows and down the columns within the matrix. Across each row, the number of lines jetting out of t
