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.
- AOTHRE
- BORTHE
- COHTER
- DOEHTR
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's study the positional shifting mechanism of letters in the given examples:
* First set:
Positions:
Notice that the letter () and the letter () are interchanged, while positions and remain constant.
* Second set:
Positions:
Here too, the letter () and the letter () are swapped.
Applying the identical rule to OTHER:
* Keep position 1 (), position 3 (), and position 5 () exactly the same.
* Swap the letter () with the letter ().
This transforms into OEHTR.
