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.
GLOBAL: HNRAYI :: HONEST: IQQDQQ :: ITSELF : ?
- AJVUDJC
- BJVVDKC
- CJVVEJC
- DJVVDJC
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's analyze the shift from GLOBAL to HNRAYI:
G→H(+1)
L→N(+2)
O→R(+3)
B→A(−1)
A→Y(−2)
L→I(−3)
The pattern of shifts is +1,+2,+3,−1,−2,−3.
Let's verify with HONEST → IQQDQQ:
H+1=I
O+2=Q
N+3=Q
E−1=D
S−2=Q
T−3=Q
The pattern is confirmed.
Now apply this pattern to ITSELF:
I+1=J
T+2=V
S+3=V
E−1=D
L−2=J
F−3=C
The resulting letter-cluster is JVVDJC.
