Insert four letters to preserve the repeating name “SHEELA” across all overlaps in the long string: SH _ ELAS _ EELA _ HEELA SHEE _ A

Introduction / Context:
Several gaps must be filled so that every overlapped segment reads “SHEELA”. When a name is intended, the correct letters usually become obvious once the first overlap is proven to read fully.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Target repeated word: “SHEELA”.
• Pattern: SH _ ELAS _ EELA _ HEELA SHEE _ A
• Four insertions in order.

Concept / Approach:
Test each option by stepping across the anchors “SH…ELA…EELA…HEELA…SHEE…A”, ensuring each gap completes “SHEELA”.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Other options spoil at least one overlap (e.g., extra E’s or wrong consonant order).

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
HHSS, EEHS, ELHA introduce misordered letters breaking the SHEELA read.

Common Pitfalls:
Not checking every overlap independently.

Final Answer:
