Choose the set of letters that sequentially completes the following letter series.
p_rt_or_po_tp_rt
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The given series has 16 characters (letters and blanks), which can be divided into 4 repeating groups of 4 letters each:
p _ r t / _ o r _ / p o _ t / p _ r t
The repeating pattern is p o r t:
• 1st group: p o r t
• 2nd group: p o r t
• 3rd group: p o r t
• 4th group: p o r t
The letters required to fill the blanks sequentially are o, p, t, r, o.
Therefore, the correct option is (A).
