Read the row of letters below from left to right.
U G E A O N O V C I X I A Z A A M W I W Z I
How many consonants in this row have a vowel directly before them and a vowel directly after them?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 4
Check every consonant in the row: the letters on both sides of it must be vowels (A, E, I, O or U).
Place 2: U G E — counts
Place 6: O N O — counts
Place 8: O V C — does not count (followed by C)
Place 9: V C I — does not count (preceded by V)
Place 11: I X I — counts
Place 14: A Z A — counts
Place 17: A M W — does not count (followed by W)
Place 18: M W I — does not count (preceded by M)
Place 20: I W Z — does not count (followed by Z)
Place 21: W Z I — does not count (preceded by W)
So the answer is 4.
