Identify the reverse alphabetical pair for each letter by taking its opposite (A to Z, B to Y, C to X, etc.), which sums to 27.
Identify the reverse alphabetical pair for each letter by taking its opposite (A to Z, B to Y, C to X, etc.), which sums to 27.
Analyze the Given Analogy
Examine the relationship between ABCA and ZYXZ. Each letter is transformed into its exact opposite letter in the English alphabet (A to Z, B to Y, C to X).
Apply the Reverse Rule to DEFD
Find the opposite letter for each character: D (4th from left) becomes W (23rd), E (5th) becomes V (22nd), F (6th) becomes U (21st), and D (4th) becomes W (23rd).
Form the Final Result
Combining the translated letters in order gives W, V, U, and W, which forms the word WVUW.
B: WUVU is incorrect because the letter sequence is misordered. C: VUWU is incorrect because it starts with V instead of W. D: WVUW is identical to the correct answer option A.
A is correct because each letter of DEFD is replaced by its opposite alphabetical counterpart, transforming D to W, E to V, F to U, and D to W to produce WVUW.
