Attempted by 168 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Key pattern: the word is coded by reversing the order of all letters.
Example: RESPONSE → ESNOPSER (RESPONSE reversed letter-by-letter).
Write the word SYMBOLIC.
Reverse the letters one by one: S Y M B O L I C → C I L O B M Y S.
Therefore the coded form of SYMBOLIC is CILOBMYS.
Why the other choices are wrong: they do not match the exact letter-by-letter reversal. For example, CILYMBOS and LYMBOCIS have letters out of order compared to the correct reversed sequence C I L O B M Y S.
Quick check: always write the word and read it backwards to confirm the coded form.
