Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Rule: To code a word, add the alphabetical positions of its vowels (A = 1, B = 2, …, Z = 26). Count only vowels (A, E, I, O, U); ignore consonants.
Examples:
MOUSE → vowels O (15), U (21), E (5); 15 + 21 + 5 = 41
RATE → vowels A (1), E (5); 1 + 5 = 6
NETWORK → vowels E (5), O (15); 5 + 15 = 20
Answer: NETWORK is coded as 20.
