Show the answer and the worked solution
Correct answer: A. ECV
Worked solution
- The shift is +2.
- C→E, A→C, T→V.
- The code is ECV.
Answer: ECV.
The idea
Three letters is enough to confirm a constant shift. The distractors each get one letter wrong.
Shortcut. A+2 = C and T+2 = V settle it: ECV is the only option with C in the middle and V at the end.
Common trap. "EBV" — shifting A by only one place, to B; DOG → FQI moves every letter two places, so A becomes C.
