Observe three synchronized +2 sequences. 1st letters: C → E → G → ( +2 ) → I → K. 2nd letters: M → O → Q → ( +2 ) → S → U. 3rd letters: M → O → Q → ( +2 ) → S → U. Concept/ApproachTreat each position as an arithmetic progression on alphabet indices: A=1, B=2, …, Z=26.Step-by-Step calculation1) First column: C(3)+2=E(5), +2=G(7), +2=I(9).2) Second column: M(13)+2=O(15), +2=Q(17), +2=S(19).3) Third column: same as second ⇒ next is S.Verification/AlternativeCompose the missing item: I + S + S = ISS. The final given term KUU continues the +2 stride.Common pitfallsAccidentally stepping by +1; confusing the mirrored second and third positions.Final AnswerISS
