Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: 34
Explanation:
The sequence alternates a fixed number 8 with another sequence of increasing numbers.
The non-8 terms are 22 and 28; each increases by 6. Continuing that pattern after 28 gives 34.
Therefore the next term in the series 8, 22, 8, 28, 8, ... is 34.
