Select the option that is related to the fifth letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster and the fourth letter-cluster is related to the third letter-cluster.
CARS : HFWX :: BOAT : GTFY :: FUSE : ?
- AKZXJ
- BLAXJ
- CKZWI
- DLAYK
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's check the relation between the corresponding letters of the clusters by their positional values:
1. **CARS HFWX**:
* C (3) H (8)
* A (1) F (6)
* R (18) W (23)
* S (19) X (24)
The pattern is adding to each letter.
2. **BOAT GTFY**:
* B (2) G (7)
* O (15) T (20)
* A (1) F (6)
* T (20) Y (25)
The pattern is verified.
Applying the same logic to FUSE:
* F (6) K (11)
* U (21) Z (26)
* S (19) X (24)
* E (5) J (10)
The resulting letter-cluster is KZXJ.
