Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Answer: VE7

Explanation:

  • First letters (position 1): They are in reverse alphabetical order: Z, Y, X, W, V. So the next first letter is V.

  • Alphabet letters (positions 2 and 3): The letters A, B, C, D, E appear in alphabetical order but alternate between the second and third positions: A (position 2), B (position 3), C (position 2), D (position 3). Therefore the next letter is E and it belongs in position 2.

  • Numbers (remaining position): The numeric sequence across the items is 5, 4, 6, 3, 7. The next number is 7 and it occupies the remaining (third) position for this item.

  • Combine the three parts: first-letter V, second-position letter E, number 7 in the third position → VE7.
