Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Key insight: identify the position order used to form the second term from the first term.
MASON → AMNOS: take letters in positions 2, 1, 5, 4, 3 (A M N O S).
FAULT → AFTLU: take letters in positions 2, 1, 5, 4, 3 (A F T L U).
Why the other pairs do not match:
PARTY → APRYT uses positions 2, 1, 3, 5, 4, which is different from 2, 1, 5, 4, 3.
LODGE → DOLEG uses positions 3, 2, 1, 5, 4, which is a different rearrangement.
CARGO → ACOGS does not follow the same pattern (and the target contains a different letter than the source), so it does not match the 2,1,5,4,3 rearrangement.
Conclusion: The two pairs that use the same transformation are MASON → AMNOS and FAULT → AFTLU.
