Sentence: 'Light travels faster than sound across empty space.'

If the 2nd letter of every 3rd word is written in order, what word is formed?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. ac.

List the words with positions:

  1. Light
  2. travels
  3. faster
  4. than
  5. sound
  6. across
  7. empty
  8. space

Now take every 3rd word → words 3, 6

Word 3: faster → 2nd letter = a

Word 6: across → 2nd letter = c

Hence, combine letters in order = ac
