Select the option that is related to the third letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster.
FKT
FLT
FKU
GLU
FKT
Apply the positional shift (+2, +1, +1) to each letter index of the first cluster to find the second, then repeat for the third cluster.

Analyze the transformation of GLP to IMQ
G(7)+2=I(9), L(12)+1=M(13), P(16)+1=Q(17). The pattern is (+2, +1, +1).
Apply the pattern to DJS
D(4)+2=F(6), J(10)+1=K(11), S(19)+1=T(20). Mapping DJS yields FKT.
B: FLT is wrong because the middle letter K is replaced by L and the end letter T by T; C: FKU is wrong because the last letter U follows +2 instead of +1; D: GLU is wrong because the first letter changes to G instead of F.
A is correct because applying the consistent pattern of (+2, +1, +1) to the letter-cluster DJS results in FKT.
When solving letter analogies, always write down the numerical position (A=1, B=2...) of each letter; it makes identifying the addition/subtraction pattern significantly faster.
