Question 193

Choose the term that is the odd one out

The position of the letters in the alphabet corresponds to whether the numbers that follow are even or odd.
For letters in odd positions (A = 1, C = 3, E = 5, G = 7, I = 9), they are paired with odd numbers.
For letters in even positions (B = 2, D = 4, F = 6, H = 8, J = 10), they are paired with even numbers.

Option E: I (odd, 9) paired with 4 (even), J (even, 10) paired with 7 (odd) — Violates the pattern because the first letter (odd) is not paired with an odd number, the same goes for the second letter as well.
