Analyze pattern for ACE
A=1, C=3, E=5. Logic: 1+2=3, 3+2=5. All gaps are +2.
Analyze pattern for GIK, MOQ, and RTW
GIK: G(7), I(9), K(11) тЖТ 7+2=9, 9+2=11. MOQ: M(13), O(15), Q(17) тЖТ 13+2=15, 15+2=17. RTW: R(18), T(20), W(23) тЖТ 18+2=20, 20+3=23.
A: Follows +2, +2 pattern. B: Follows +2, +2 pattern. C: Follows +2, +2 pattern.
D is correct because RTW follows a +2, +3 pattern, whereas all other options follow a consistent +2, +2 pattern.
Always map letters to their numerical positions (A=1, Z=26) immediately; this turns letter puzzles into simple arithmetic.
