Question

Select the option that is related to the fifth letter-cluster in the same way as the second letter-cluster is related to the first letter-cluster and the fourth letter-cluster is related to the third letter-cluster.
CLARITY: DMBSJUZ :: PRICE: QSJDF :: RAINBOW :?

The correct answer is
SBJOCPX

Decoding the Letter Cluster Analogy Pattern

This problem involves identifying a consistent pattern between pairs of letter clusters and applying it to find the missing cluster.

Analyzing the First Pair: CLARITY to DMBSJUZ

We compare the letters of 'CLARITY' to 'DMBSJUZ' position by position:

  • C + 1 letter = D
  • L + 1 letter = M
  • A + 1 letter = B
  • R + 1 letter = S
  • I + 1 letter = J
  • T + 1 letter = U
  • Y + 1 letter = Z

The pattern identified is a simple alphabetical shift where each letter is replaced by the next letter in the alphabet (a +1 shift).

Validating the Pattern with the Second Pair: PRICE to QSJDF

Let's check if the same +1 shift pattern applies:

  • P + 1 letter = Q
  • R + 1 letter = S
  • I + 1 letter = J
  • C + 1 letter = D
  • E + 1 letter = F

The +1 alphabetical shift pattern is confirmed.

Applying the Pattern to RAINBOW

Now, we apply the established +1 shift pattern to the word 'RAINBOW':

  • R + 1 letter = S
  • A + 1 letter = B
  • I + 1 letter = J
  • N + 1 letter = O
  • B + 1 letter = C
  • O + 1 letter = P
  • W + 1 letter = X

Following this pattern, 'RAINBOW' transforms into 'SBJOCPX'.

Final Answer Derivation

The letter cluster related to 'RAINBOW' using the same logic is 'SBJOCPX'. This corresponds to the first option.
