Analogy (letter reversal) — “HOPEFUL : LUFEPOH :: ETHNICITY : ?”. Apply the same operation to find the missing word.

Introduction / Context:We map the left word to the right by reversing letter order: HOPEFUL → LUFEPOH. Apply the same reversal to ETHNICITY.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Operation: reverse the string exactly.
• No substitution or shifting.

Concept / Approach:ETHNICITY reversed character-by-character yields YTICINHTE.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:Cross-check letter counts and order to avoid transposition errors.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:They include misplaced letters or extra/omitted characters.

Common Pitfalls:Skipping a letter or swapping adjacent letters when reversing.

Final Answer:YTICINHTE
