Question

    Select the option that is related to the fifth

    letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster and the fourth letter-cluster is related to the third letter-cluster.  BEING : YVRMT :: PRIDE : KIRWV :: CLEAN : ?
    A GOVZP Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B XPVRM Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C XOVZM Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D XOWZM Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    BEING → YVRMT We analyze the shift in letters for each corresponding position: | B → Y (-3) | E → V (-3) | I → R (-3) | N → M (-1) | G → T (-3) | Thus, the pattern followed is: First, second, third, and fifth letters are shifted backward by 3 places in the alphabet. The fourth letter is shifted backward by 1 place. We now apply the same shifts to CLEAN: | C → X (-3) | L → O (-3) | E → V (-3) | A → Z (-1) | N → M (-3) | Thus, CLEAN → XOVZM.
