Multi-Rule Pattern — Medium Matrix Reasoning Question

What to learn from this pattern

Look at the small dot — inside the shape, on its edge, or outside it.

Explanation

Look at the small dot — inside the shape, on its edge, or outside it. Every row AND every column shows all three positions exactly once, like a Latin square. The answer is the position missing from both its row and its column. The wrong options break the row or the column.

Why the other options are wrong

• Bread-as-outside — judged the dot outside
• Cread-as-boundary — judged the dot on the edge
• Dread-as-outside-other-spot — judged the dot outside at a different point of the ring
• Eread-as-boundary-other-spot — judged the dot on the edge at a different point of the ring
