Three of the following four letter-cluster pairs are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which is the letter-cluster pair that does NOT belong to that group? (Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their positions in the letter-cluster.)
-
A.
TQ - MJ
-
B.
ZW - SP
-
C.
NK - GD
-
D.
RV - KJ
Correct Answer:
D. RV - KJ
Explanation:
The correct answer is Option D: RV - KJ.
To identify the odd pair, examine the alphabetical distance between the letters in each cluster. In Option A (TQ - MJ), the first letters (T and M) are 7 positions apart, and the second letters (Q and J) are also 7 positions apart. Similarly, in Option B (ZW - SP), both Z to S and W to P represent a shift of 7 positions back in the alphabet. Option C (NK - GD) also follows this pattern, with N to G and K to D being exactly 7 letters apart. However, in Option D (RV - KJ), the distance between R and K is 7, but the distance between V and J is 12, breaking the established pattern of the other three groups.
