Based on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four letter-cluster pairs are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which pair does not belong to that group? (Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter-cluster.)
WT-XZ
RO-SV
UR-VX
NK-OQ
RO-SV
Observe the positional gap between letters: three options follow the pattern (+3, +2, +3), while one option deviates.

Analyze Letter Positions
Convert letters to their alphabetical positions: W(23), T(20), X(24), Z(26); R(18), O(15), S(19), V(22); U(21), R(18), V(22), X(24); N(14), K(11), O(15), Q(17).
Evaluate Gaps for Each Pair
WT-XZ: W тЖТ T (-3), T тЖТ X (+4), X тЖТ Z (+2). Pattern: (-3, +4, +2). RO-SV: R тЖТ O (-3), O тЖТ S (+4), S тЖТ V (+3). Pattern: (-3, +4, +3). UR-VX: U тЖТ R (-3), R тЖТ V (+4), V тЖТ X (+2). Pattern: (-3, +4, +2). NK-OQ: N тЖТ K (-3), K тЖТ O (+4), O тЖТ Q (+2). Pattern: (-3, +4, +2).
Identify the Odd One
Options A (WT-XZ), C (UR-VX), and D (NK-OQ) all follow the specific gap sequence of -3, +4, +2. Option B (RO-SV) follows -3, +4, +3, making it the odd one out.
A: Follows the -3, +4, +2 pattern, C: Follows the -3, +4, +2 pattern, D: Follows the -3, +4, +2 pattern.
B is correct because it is the only option that does not follow the -3, +4, +2 numerical gap pattern observed in the other three clusters.
When comparing letter-clusters, always convert them to their numerical ranks first to identify hidden arithmetic differences between consecutive letters.
