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
