Read the complete target
The instruction names a color and a shape, such as red circle. Find the item that matches both, then select it.
On this board every item is a circle and only one is red. Color alone distinguishes it here. That shortcut will not work on every board.
A partial match is not enough
The target is still a red circle. The red square at the top left matches the color but not the shape. The blue circle nearby matches the shape but not the color.
The red circle is in row 2, column 2. It is the item that satisfies both parts of the instruction. Check the whole target before selecting it.
Find the blue circle
The target has changed. Compare the two suggested locations with the complete instruction: blue circle.

Where is the blue circle?
- Top left
- Bottom right

Bottom right
Correct. The bottom-right item is a blue circle. Other items match its color or its shape, but not both together.
