Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Key idea: the given series is built by repeating a fixed block of letters.

Determine the repeating block and fill blanks accordingly.

  1. Blank 1: must be k. Starting with 'vl', the next letter in the repeating block is k to form 'vlk...'.

  2. Blank 2: must be v. After the segment 'klv', the repeating pattern requires a v next to continue the block.

  3. Blank 3: must be v. This follows from extending the same repeating block through the sequence.

  4. Blank 4: must be l. The pattern requires l at this position to complete the block.

  5. Blank 5: must be v. This completes the final repetition of the block.

Filling the blanks with k, v, v, l, v produces the continuous string vlkklvvlkklvvlkklv, which is three repetitions of the block vlkklv.

Therefore the correct sequence of letters to place in the blanks is k v v l v.
