    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Y, c
    Explanation
    The letters are increasing by four increments. You can count this on your hand like this:

    Thumb: a
    Pointer Finger: b
    Middle Finger c
    Third finger: d
    Pinky finger: e

    This shows that each letter is on the thumb and pinky. Make sure you reset each count. So in this case 'e' becomes the thumb (so you sort of count it twice like this).

    If you're really in a hurry on this it is a good guess that y,c is the correct response because this is the only answer that has a letter AFTER 'u'.
