Identify the positional jump between corresponding letters of consecutive clusters (each letter advances by +6 in alphabetical order).
Identify the positional jump between corresponding letters of consecutive clusters (each letter advances by +6 in alphabetical order).
Analyze First Letters
The first letters of each cluster are B (2), H (8), and N (14). Each advances by +6 positions. N (+6) gives T (20).
Analyze Second Letters
The second letters are D (4), J (10), and P (16). Each advances by +6 positions. P (+6) gives V (22).
Analyze Third Letters
The third letters are F (6), L (12), and R (18). Each advances by +6 positions. R (+6) gives X (24). Combining them gives TVX.
B: TUX has an incorrect second letter U instead of V. C: TWZ has incorrect third letter Z instead of X. D: TVZ has an incorrect third letter Z instead of X.
A is correct because each corresponding letter in the clusters progresses forward by 6 alphabetical positions, yielding TVX.
Always check both the internal gap within each cluster and the transitional gap between corresponding letters of consecutive clusters.
