Pick-the-word from the letters at 1st, 4th, 7th, and 11th positions of “INTERPRETATION” If a meaningful English word can be made from the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 11th letters of “INTERPRETATION”, what will be the 3rd letter of that word? If more than one such word exists, answer “M”; if none, answer “X”.

Introduction / Context:
This is a constrained anagram question: select letters at fixed positions from a word and see whether one or more meaningful words can be formed. Then report the third letter, or choose a special symbol if the solution is non-unique or impossible.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Word: INTERPRETATION.
• Indices (1-based): 1=I, 4=E, 7=R, 11=T ⇒ candidate letter set {I, E, R, T}.
• Instruction: If exactly one word forms, output its third letter; if multiple, output M; if none, X.

Concept / Approach:
List common permutations forming valid English words from {I,E,R,T}.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Possible words include “TIER”, “TIRE”, and “RITE”.Because there is more than one valid word, the instruction tells us to return the special symbol for multiplicity.

Verification / Alternative check:
Dictionary check confirms multiple common words from the letter set.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“T” or “R” would imply a unique third letter from a single permissible word. “X” would be used if no valid word existed.

Common Pitfalls:
Assuming only one arrangement (e.g., “TIER”) and overlooking others (e.g., “RITE,” “TIRE”).

Final Answer:
M
