For question 3., all of the options show letters in consecutive order except C (Nmo), so I chose that one. If there are more than one relationship evident in the question, which relationship should we choose to answer the question with? Thanks!
Yes there are two relations – consecutive letters AND small to capital letters.
Great questions, loved the comments with the answers. Great job!
