  2. answer:RI
    How to find the 1st letter:
    - look at the boxes diagonally left to right
    - PE
    QC-QG
    RA-RE-?
    SC-SG
    TE
    - look at the first alphabet: P-Q-R-S-T
    - conclusion: First alphabet of (?) is R

    How to find the 2nd letter:
    - look at the boxes diagonally right to left
    - R?
    SG-QG
    TE-RE-PE
    SC-QC
    RA
    - look at the 2nd alphabet:A-C-E-G-?
    - from A to C skip 1 letter, from C to E skip 1 letter, from E to G also skip 1 letter. That means the next letter is I.
    (A= 1, C= 3, E= 5, G=7, I=9)

    Conclusion: ? = RI

  4. The answer is RI. In every row, the last alphabet will skip 2 times. It goes the same in columns. But the underlined " R" gave me a clue that the answer will be found diaganally. So, since the last letter skips 2 times, I do the same thing, and finally I got the answer, RI.

  6. The answer is RI
    To get the first letter, there are 2 ways:
    (1)Look diagonally,S-S,R-R-?, Q-Q. So ? is R.
    (2)Look at the row from left to right.It runs in order:R-S-T,Q-R-S,P-Q-?. so ? is R.
    To get the second letter,we can look either at the row or column.The letter is in alternate order: A-C-E, C-E-G,E-G-?, so ? is I.
    Therefore, answer is RI

  7. Because if you look at the left top box you will see two letters R and A .Now look at the left side again you will see another two letters R and E.You know these letters A,E,I,O,and U. If they are at a begining of a word and the word in front of it is 'the' you will pronouce the 'the' as 'tihe',so the answer is RI.Ans:RI

  8. Sorry for a late reply.

    My answer is RI. In every row, the last alphabet will skip 2 times.So RA,SC and TE are from the first row so their last alphabet are A,C and E.A skip 2 times is C,C skip 2 times is E.And QC,RE and SG are from the second row so their last alphabet are C,E and G.C skip 2 times is E,E skip 2 times is G.Lastly,PE and QG are from the last row so their last alphabet are E and G.E skip 2 times is G.So I saw two pairs of alphabets that have the underlined R so I thought maybe the answer's first alphabet is R.So G skip 2 times is I.So the ? is RI.
