hard puzzle 2

Option 6

Look at the first column: it’s clearly the sequence of comparison symbols

Row 1: >

Row 2: — (used here like “equals / same level”)

Row 3: <

Now compare the middle (col 2) and right (col 3) shapes in each row:

Row 1: >

Col 2 is a single line (an “open / 1‑D” figure).

Col 3 is a rectangle (a “closed / 2‑D” figure).
So the right-hand figure is “greater” (more complete/closed), matching >.

Row 2: —

Col 2 is a rectangle (with an extra internal line).

Col 3 is also a rectangle.
At the “closed 2‑D shape” level, they’re the same category, matching the — (equality).

Row 3: <

Col 2 is a square (closed 2‑D).
So Col 3 must be less than that → it must be an open / 1‑D figure, not another rectangle.

Among the options, the only open 1‑D figure is the line segment, which is Option 6.
