EV
EU
FV
FU
EV
Observe that the first letters move forward (A→B→C→D) while the second letters move backward (Z→Y→X→W); the next pair is simply the next forward and backward letters.
Observe that the first letters move forward (A→B→C→D) while the second letters move backward (Z→Y→X→W); the next pair is simply the next forward and backward letters.
First letter progression
The first letters of each term are A, B, C, D – a natural forward sequence. The next letter after D is E.
Second letter regression
The second letters are Z, Y, X, W – a backward sequence from Z. The next letter after W in reverse order is V.
Form the missing term
Combine the next forward first letter (E) with the next backward second letter (V) to get EV.
B: EU has correct first letter but second letter should be V, not U. C: FV has wrong first letter (should be E) and correct second letter V. D: FU has both letters wrong (first should be E, second should be V).
A is correct because the series adds one forward in the first position and one backward in the second position, giving EV.
In similar series, always split the term into individual positions; each position often follows its own independent numeric or alphabetical rule.
