Choose the missing terms out of the given alternatives : ATTRIBUTION, TTRIBUTIO, RIBUTIO, IBUTI, ?

IBU
UT
UTI
BUT

The answer is BUT.

The first four words in the sequence are formed by removing the first letter of each word in the following sequence:

  • ATTRIBUTION
  • ATTRITION
  • ROTATION
  • IBUTION

The next word in the sequence will be formed by removing the first letter of the word “IBUTION”, which is “I”. The remaining letters are “BUTION”, which can be rearranged to form the word “BUT”.

The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the same pattern as the first four words in the sequence.
