Observe the first, second, and third letters of each cluster independently; the first letter follows a -2 pattern, the second follows +2, and the third follows +5 (mod 26).
Analyze the first letter position
F(6) to D(4) is -2; D(4) to B(2) is -2; B(2) to Z(26) is -2; Z(26) - 2 gives 24, which is X.
Analyze the second letter position
Z(26) to Y(25) is -1; Y(25) to X(24) is -1; X(24) to W(23) is -1; W(23) - 1 gives 22, which is V.
Analyze the third letter position
P(16) to U(21) is +5; U(21) to Z(26) is +5; Z(26) to E(5) is +5; E(5) + 5 gives 10, which is J.
B: The first letter Z does not follow the -2 pattern. C: YWN does not match the computed XVJ pattern. D: YOU does not match the computed XVJ pattern.
A is correct because applying the constant shifts of -2, -1, and +5 to the final term ZWE yields X, V, and J respectively.
For alphabetical series, always convert letters to their numerical positions (A=1, Z=26) to spot arithmetic patterns instantly.
