Based on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four letter-cluster pairs are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which letter-cluster pair DOES NOT belong to that group?
(Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter-cluster.)
-
A.
NJ – SO
-
B.
GB – KF
-
C.
MH – QL
-
D.
VQ – ZU
Correct Answer:
A. NJ – SO
Explanation:
The patterns of the letter-cluster pairs are: - NJ – SO: N(+5) ? S and J(+5) ? O
- GB – KF: G(+4) ? K and B(+4) ? F
- MH – QL: M(+4) ? Q and H(+4) ? L
- VQ – ZU: V(+4) ? Z and Q(+4) ? UIn the pairs GB–KF, MH–QL, and VQ–ZU, the first letter of each cluster is increased by 4 to get the first letter of the next cluster, and the second letter is also increased by 4. However, in NJ–SO, the letters are increased by 5. Therefore, NJ–SO is the odd one out.
