Show the answer and the worked solution
Correct answer: A. CJSE
Worked solution
- The shift is +1.
- B→C, I→J, R→S, D→E.
- The code is CJSE.
Answer: CJSE.
The idea
The simplest possible shift. Verify on every letter of the example so a two-step rule is not missed.
Shortcut. The options differ at B (C or D), I (J or K) and D (E or F). With +1, B→C, I→J and D→E, so CJSE is the only fit.
Common trap. "CJSF" — moving the last letter D two places to F; D + 1 = E. The first three letters being right makes the final slip easy to miss.
