Observe the first, second, and third letters of each triplet separately: the first letter follows a +2 pattern, the second follows a +1 pattern, and the third follows a +2 pattern.
Analyze the first letters of each triplet
The first letters are F, H, J, L. Their positions are 6, 8, 10, 12. Following the +2 pattern, the next letter is 12 + 2 = 14, which is N.
Analyze the second letters of each triplet
The second letters are D, E, F, G. Their positions are 4, 5, 6, 7. Following the +1 pattern, the next letter is 7 + 1 = 8, which is H.
Analyze the third letters of each triplet
The third letters are I, K, M, O. Their positions are 9, 11, 13, 15. Following the +2 pattern, the next letter is 15 + 2 = 17, which is Q.
A: Starts with M instead of N; C: Starts with M instead of N; D: Ends with P instead of Q.
B is correct because the series follows a consistent pattern of (+2, +1, +2) for each letter position in the triplets, resulting in NHQ.
In alphabetical series, always break the cluster into individual character positions to identify independent trends; this prevents errors caused by looking at the word as a whole.
