Based on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four letter-clusters are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which letter-cluster does not belong to that group?
(Note: The odd letter-cluster is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter-cluster.)
- ALSP
- BNUR
- CJQM
- DOVS
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let us trace the differences between the consecutive letter positions () for each option:
1. LSP:
2. NUR:
3. OVS:
4. JQM:
Every group follows a pattern of except for JQM, which follows . Therefore, JQM is the odd cluster.
