If in a code MOTHER is written as PRWKHU, the shift applied is
- A. two places forward
- B. three places forward
- C. three places backward
- D. one place forward
Explanation
M becomes P, O becomes R, T becomes W, H becomes K, E becomes H and R becomes U, every letter advancing by three. Checking all six letters rather than just the first is what confirms the rule. A backward shift of three would have given JLQEBO instead.
