Concept:The pattern involves two sequential transformations on a four-letter word: first swap the first two letters, then move the last letter to the front.
Explanation:Apply the logic to the given pair BLUE – LBUE – ELBU.
Step 1: BLUE
→ LBUE (positions 1 and 2 interchange:
1234→2134).
Step 2: LBUE
→ ELBU (last letter moves to first:
2134→4213).
The same pattern works for TWIN – WTIN – NWTI.
Now test the options:
Option A: URGE
→ RUGE (swap 1&2 ✔)
→ RGEU (should be
4213 but
1342 ✘).
Option B: POST
→ PSOT (swaps positions 2&3 instead of 1&2 ✘).
Option C: FOUR
→ OFUR (swap 1&2 ✔)
→ ROFU (last letter to first:
4213 ✔).
Option D: READ
→ ERAD (swap 1&2 ✔)
→ DEAR (last letter should go to first, but DEAR is
4231 ✘).
Only option C follows the exact sequence.
Answer:C. FOUR – OFUR – ROFU
