Answer 1

Answer:

C. SAT

Write positions of letters:

• MAN → M(13), A(1), N(14)

• OAP → O(15), A(1), P(16)

• QAR → Q(17), A(1), R(18)

• ?

• UAV → U(21), A(1), V(22)

  Observe the pattern:

• First letters: M(13) → O(15) → Q(17) → S(19) → U(21) (+2 each time)

• Second letters: always A (1)

• Third letters: N(14) → P(16) → R(18) → T(20) → V(22) (+2 each time)

  Missing term:

S(19), A(1), T(20) → SAT

Final Answer:

SAT
