Explanation:

Step1: Recall congruent and similar definitions

Congruent figures have same shape and size. Similar figures have same shape.

Step2: Analyze first - pair

The two "T - shaped" figures have different sizes, so not congruent. But same shape, so similar.

Step3: Analyze second - pair

The two squares have different sizes, so not congruent. But same shape, so similar.

Step4: Analyze third - pair

The two circles have the same size and shape, so they are congruent and similar.

Step5: Analyze fourth - pair

The two triangles have different sizes, so not congruent. But same shape, so similar.

Answer:

First pair: Congruent? No, Similar? Yes
Second pair: Congruent? No, Similar? Yes
Third pair: Congruent? Yes, Similar? Yes
Fourth pair: Congruent? No, Similar? Yes
