Alphabet test — formable word from letters of: MEASUREMENT

Introduction / Context:This problem asks which option can be composed from the letters of MEASUREMENT without exceeding letter counts. Such questions reward systematic frequency checking over guesswork.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Source letters and counts: M(2), E(3), A(1), S(1), U(1), R(1), N(1), T(1).
• Rule: each letter used at most as many times as it appears in the source.

Concept / Approach:Create a quick inventory table and test each option against counts.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:Re-tally after selecting MASTER: remaining counts never go negative.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:They require a missing letter (L, I, G) or exceed available multiplicity (two S's), making construction impossible.

Common Pitfalls:Noticing obvious substrings but ignoring a single missing character (e.g., an L in MANTLE).

Final Answer:MASTER
