Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation: The coding rule alternates adding 1 and subtracting 1 to consecutive letters, starting with +1 on the first letter.

  • Example for EAGLE:

  • E → F (+1)

  • A → Z (−1)

  • G → H (+1)

  • L → K (−1)

  • E → F (+1)

Apply the same pattern to THANKS:

  • T → U (+1)

  • H → G (−1)

  • A → B (+1)

  • N → M (−1)

  • K → L (+1)

  • S → R (−1)

Resulting code: UGBMLR
