Squares R5C4 and R5C5 in row 5 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <38>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R5C7 - removing <8> from <289> leaving <29>

R5C9 - removing <8> from <289> leaving <29>

Squares R8C2 and R9C2 in column 2 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <67>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R1C2 - removing <6> from <269> leaving <29>

Squares R7C5 and R8C4 in block 8 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <89>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R8C5 - removing <89> from <1689> leaving <16>

R9C5 - removing <8> from <168> leaving <16>
