Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Solution: Determine the pattern separately for each letter position.
First letters: Y (25), W (23), U (21), S (19) → each decreases by 2; next: 19 − 2 = 17 → Q.
Middle letters: E (5), F (6), H (8), K (11) → increments of +1, +2, +3; next: 11 + 4 = 15 → O.
Last letters: B (2), D (4), G (7), I (9) → increments alternate +2, +3, +2; next: 9 + 3 = 12 → L.
Therefore the next term is QOL.
