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.
MAKING : NCLKOI :: LUCENT : MWDGOV :: ISLAND : ?
- AJUMCOF
- BJUMCOE
- CJUMDOF
- DJUMCPF
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's find the shifting rule letter by letter:
MAKING → NCLKOI
M+1=N
A+2=C
K+1=L
I+2=K
N+1=O
G+2=I
LUCENT → MWDGOV
L+1=M
U+2=W
C+1=D
E+2=G
N+1=O
T+2=V
The logic pattern is alternating additions: +1,+2,+1,+2,+1,+2.
Applying this pattern to ISLAND:
I+1=J
S+2=U
L+1=M
A+2=C
N+1=O
D+2=F
This gives the final letter-cluster: JUMCOF.
