Answer 1

To determine which rule has a diamond for its 8th shape, we will analyze each pattern and see the sequence they follow.

1. **diamond, square, triangle**: This pattern repeats every 3 shapes. The sequence is:
- 1: diamond
- 2: square
- 3: triangle
- 4: diamond
- 5: square
- 6: triangle
- 7: diamond
- 8: square
- (8th shape is square)

2. **circle, triangle, diamond**: This pattern also repeats every 3 shapes. The sequence is:
- 1: circle
- 2: triangle
- 3: diamond
- 4: circle
- 5: triangle
- 6: diamond
- 7: circle
- 8: triangle
- (8th shape is triangle)

3. **triangle, diamond**: This pattern repeats every 2 shapes. The sequence is:
- 1: triangle
- 2: diamond
- 3: triangle
- 4: diamond
- 5: triangle
- 6: diamond
- 7: triangle
- 8: diamond
- (8th shape is diamond)

4. **diamond, circle**: This pattern repeats every 2 shapes. The sequence is:
- 1: diamond
- 2: circle
- 3: diamond
- 4: circle
- 5: diamond
- 6: circle
- 7: diamond
- 8: circle
- (8th shape is circle)

From our analysis, the rule that has a diamond for its 8th shape is the **triangle, diamond** pattern.
