Question

Complete the following series from the given options.

m_pq_rpqm_pqmrp_

The correct answer is

rmrq

In a letter-filling series, the trick is to spot a short block of letters that repeats over and over, then choose each missing letter so that every block reads the same.

The string is m_pq_rpqm_pqmrp_. Counting letters and blanks together suggests it is built from a repeating block of four letters, and the clean portion 'rpq' together with 'mrp' points to the block being 'mrpq'.

Divide the whole string into groups of four: m_pq / _rpq / m_pq / mrp_.

Now force each group to match the target block mrpq. In m_pq the gap must be r; in _rpq the gap must be m; in m_pq the gap must again be r; and in mrp_ the gap must be q.

Reading the inserted letters in the order the blanks appear gives r, m, r, q.

With these fillings the full string becomes mrpq | mrpq | mrpq | mrpq, a clean fourfold repeat of the same block, confirming the choices are consistent.

Hence the letters that complete the series are rmrq.
