Alphabet Test — “Which letter is 8th to the right of the 7th letter from the left in the English alphabet?” (7th from the left is G; then move right by 8.)

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: O

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:This is a two-step indexing problem: find a reference letter by left index, then shift right by a fixed amount. Right means towards Z.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • 7th from the left is G (A1 … G7).
  • “8th to the right of G” means add 8 to G’s left index.

Concept / Approach:Compute the left index after the right shift and read off the resulting letter.

Step-by-Step Solution:

L(G) = 7.7 + 8 = 15.The 15th letter is O.

Verification / Alternative check:Walk stepwise: G→H(1), I(2), J(3), K(4), L(5), M(6), N(7), O(8). Lands on O.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:They correspond to different offsets from G.

Common Pitfalls:Confusing “to the right of” with “from the right.” They are different ideas.

Final Answer:O
