Select the letter cluster that will replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
CLGTS, DMHUT, ENIVU, ?, GPKXW
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → FOJWV
Comparing the clusters letter by letter, each of the five letters moves one place forward from one term to the next.
CLGTS to DMHUT: C→D, L→M, G→H, T→U, S→T; DMHUT to ENIVU is the same step
One place forward from ENIVU: E→F, N→O, I→J, V→W, U→V, giving FOJWV
One more step gives GPKXW, the last term
