Discussion
The groups below take the alphabet in consecutive threes and may run past its end. Give the next group.
PQR, STU, VWX, ?
Answer: C
Correct answer: YZA
Each triple is three consecutive letters, and the triples follow one another without a gap: P, Q, R then S, T, U then V, W, X. The next three letters are Y, Z and then the alphabet wraps round to A, giving YZA. The wrap is the whole point of the question; a series that simply ran out of letters would have no answer at all. Without the wrap the series would simply run out at X, so the presence of a question mark is itself evidence that the alphabet is meant to be treated as a loop.
