The correct answer is
GH

Analogy Solution: AB : CD :: EF : ?

This question involves a letter analogy based on the sequence of the English alphabet.

Identifying the Pattern

We need to find the relationship between the first pair of letters (AB) and the second pair (CD) to apply it to the third pair (EF).

Let's look at the sequence:

  • AB represents the first two consecutive letters.
  • CD represents the next two consecutive letters immediately following AB.

The pattern is that each pair consists of two consecutive letters, and the pairs themselves follow each other sequentially in the alphabet (A, B, C, D).

Applying the Pattern

The analogy provides the pair EF.

  • E is the 5th letter of the alphabet.
  • F is the 6th letter of the alphabet.

Following the pattern identified (consecutive pairs in alphabetical order), the pair EF should be followed by the next pair of consecutive letters.

The letters immediately following F in the alphabet are G and H.

Therefore, the pair that follows EF is GH.

Result

The completed analogy is: AB : CD :: EF : GH.

The missing term is GH.
