Correct answer and explanation
Correct answer: QNMRNA
Explanation: ā Correct Answer: A) QNMRNA š Explanation: The letters in the word follow an alternating -2 and +2 alphabetical shift pattern. R(-2) = P, O(+2) = Q, A(-2) = Y, S(+2) = U, T(-2) = R. Applying this same pattern to SLOPPY: S(-2) = Q, L(+2) = N, O(-2) = M, P(+2) = R, P(-2) = N, Y(+2) = A. The resulting code is QNMRNA.
