Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept: In an “items alike/different” question, two items are alike only when their strings match exactly, character by character, at every position. Even one differing or extra character makes them different, so judging by overall shape is not enough — each pair must be compared position by position.
Application:
Item 1: LIILLILILILILILILI
Item 2: LIILLILILILILILILI — comparing it position by position with Item 1 shows every character matches.
Item 3: LIILLILILILILILILI — comparing it position by position with Item 1 (and Item 2) shows every character matches as well.
Cross-check: All three strings are 18 characters long and letter-for-letter identical, so comparing any pair — 1–2, 1–3, or 2–3 — gives the same result: an exact match, with no independent check turning up any difference.
Result: Since all three items match each other exactly, ALL THREE items are alike.
