Answer
Correct Answer: H
Explanation
Introduction / Context:Find a base letter by left index, then shift left by a set amount (towards A).
Given Data / Assumptions:
- 18th from left = R.
- Left shift by 10 means subtract 10 from the left index.
Concept / Approach:Compute 18 − 10 = 8 and read the 8th letter.
Step-by-Step Solution:
L(R) = 18.18 − 10 = 8.Index 8 is H.Verification / Alternative check:Counting backward from R by ten steps lands on H; cross-check with A1 … H8.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They correspond to other offsets (e.g., J=10th, I=9th, etc.).
Common Pitfalls:Adding instead of subtracting when moving left.
Final Answer:H
