Replace the question mark with an option that follows the same logic applied in the first pair. TWENTY: EWTYTN :: EIGHTY : ??
This question presents a word analogy problem. The task is to identify the rule for rearranging the letters of the first word ('TWENTY') to get the second word ('EWTYTN') and then apply the same rule to 'EIGHTY' to find the missing word.
First, assign numerical positions to the letters in 'TWENTY':
Now, observe the positions of these letters in the rearranged word 'EWTYTN':
The sequence of original positions used to form 'EWTYTN' is: 3, 2, 1, 6, 5, 4.
Apply this exact positional rearrangement sequence (3, 2, 1, 6, 5, 4) to the letters of 'EIGHTY':
Original positions in 'EIGHTY':
Rearrange using the sequence 3, 2, 1, 6, 5, 4:
Combining the letters in this new order (G, I, E, Y, T, H) yields the word: GIEYTH.
This matches Option A.
