To find the thirty-second shape of the pattern "circle, diamond, sphere, circle, square," we first need to determine the length of the pattern.

The pattern consists of 5 shapes:

  1. Circle
  2. Diamond
  3. Sphere
  4. Circle
  5. Square

Now, the process to find the thirty-second shape is as follows:

  1. Divide 32 by the number of shapes in the pattern: \( 32 \div 5 = 6 \)

  2. Calculate the remainder: \( 32 \mod 5 = 2 \)

This means that the thirty-second position in the repeating pattern corresponds to the second shape in the list.

Completing the phrase:

  • To find the thirty-second shape of the pattern, Choose: 32 by
  • Choose: 5
  • The remainder is Choose: 2 making the thirty-second shape a Choose: diamond

So, the completed phrase would read: "To find the thirty-second shape of the pattern, 32 by 5. The remainder is 2 making the thirty-second shape a diamond."
