The pattern that follows the rule "Add 6" would start from a number and increase by 6 each time.

Let's analyze each option:

  1. 3, 9, 15, 21, 27, 33:

    • 3 + 6 = 9
    • 9 + 6 = 15
    • 15 + 6 = 21
    • 21 + 6 = 27
    • 27 + 6 = 33
    • This follows the rule.
  2. 2, 8, 12, 18, 22, 28:

    • 2 + 6 ≠ 8 (it's actually +6, +4, +6, +4 ...)
    • This does not follow the rule.
  3. 4, 9, 15, 20, 26, 31:

    • 4 + 6 ≠ 9 (it's actually +5, +6, +5, +6 ...)
    • This does not follow the rule.
  4. 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, 26:

    • 1 + 5 ≠ 6 (it's actually +5, +5, +5, +5, +5 ...)
    • This does not follow the rule.

Therefore, the only pattern that follows the rule "Add 6" is:

3, 9, 15, 21, 27, 33.
