Correct Answer:
A. MUGS - UGSM - GSMU
Explanation:
To find the related word, determine the pattern of alphabetical shifts between the letters in the pairs provided:1. SKIB to OGNG:
S - 4 = O
K + 4 = G (Wait, K is 11th, G is 7th, so 11 - 4 = 7)
I - 2 = G
B + 5 = G (Wait, let's re-examine the logic)Correct Pattern Analysis:
S (19) to O (15) is -4
K (11) to G (7) is -4
I (9) to N (14) is +5
B (2) to G (7) is +52. CUCV to YQHA:
C (3) - 4 = Y (25, cycling back)
U (21) - 4 = Q (17)
C (3) + 5 = H (8)
V (22) + 5 = A (1, cycling forward)
3. Applying the (-4, -4, +5, +5) pattern to QIRK:
Q (17) - 4 = M (13)
I (9) - 4 = E (5)
R (18) + 5 = W (23)
K (11) + 5 = P (16)The resulting word is MEWP.
