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.
FREE : GTHI :: GAPS : HCSW :: SOAR : ?
- ATQEV
- BTRDV
- CTQDV
- DTQDU
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the shifting pattern based on the alphabetical positional values of each letter:
1. **FREE GTHI**:
* F (6) G (7)
* R (18) T (20)
* E (5) H (8)
* E (5) I (9)
The pattern of addition is .
2. **GAPS HCSW**:
* G (7) H (8)
* A (1) C (3)
* P (16) S (19)
* S (19) W (23)
The pattern is verified.
Applying the same pattern to SOAR:
* S (19) T (20)
* O (15) Q (17)
* A (1) D (4)
* R (18) V (22)
The resulting cluster is TQDV.
