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.
ABUSE : ASUBE :: BEGIN : BIGEN :: OTHER : ?
- AORTHE
- BOHTER
- COTHRE
- DOEHTR
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The pattern follows a specific position-based swapping rule:
The 2nd and 4th letters of the cluster are swapped with each other, while the 1st, 3rd, and 5th letters remain at their original positions.
* ABUSE ASUBE (B and S are swapped)
* BEGIN BIGEN (E and I are swapped)
Applying the same rule to OTHER:
* Swap T (2nd) and E (4th) OEHTR.
The 2nd and 4th letters of the cluster are swapped with each other, while the 1st, 3rd, and 5th letters remain at their original positions.
* ABUSE ASUBE (B and S are swapped)
* BEGIN BIGEN (E and I are swapped)
Applying the same rule to OTHER:
* Swap T (2nd) and E (4th) OEHTR.
