Select the combination of letters that when sequentially placed in the blanks of the given series will complete the series.
Y _ L _ S _ S _ E _ Y _ L _ S
- AS, Y, S, L, S, E, E
- BS, E, E, S, L, S, Y
- CS, E, Y, L, S, S, E
- DS, E, S, E, S, L, Y
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's count the total number of characters, including blanks: 15 slots.
Let's check for a repeating pattern of length 5: Y _ L _ S
If the 5-letter group is Y E L O S or something similar, let's substitute Option C:
Blanks: S, E, Y, L, S, S, E
Placing them into: Y [S] L [E] S | [Y] S [L] E [S] | Y [S] L [E] S
This forms three repeating sets of the word: YSLES
Let's verify the pattern consistency:
1st block: Y S L E S
2nd block: Y S L E S
3rd block: Y S L E S
The letters filled in sequence are: S, E, Y, L, S, S, E.
This perfectly matches Option C.
