If the word 'STRANGE' is coded as 'TUSBOHF', how is 'FINGER' coded with the same pattern?

Question: If the word 'STRANGE' is coded as 'TUSBOHF', how is 'FINGER' coded with the same pattern?

Answer options:

• GJOHEQ ✅ GJOIFS
• GJOIHR
• GJOIFQ

Correct answer: GJOIFS

Explanation: The pattern is -1, +1, -1, +1, -1, +1. Applying this to FINGER: F(-1)=E, I(+1)=J, N(-1)=M, G(+1)=H, E(-1)=D, R(+1)=S. Wait, there was error in my pattern deduction. The pattern is +1, +2, +1, +2, +1, +2 (S+1=T, T+2=U, R+1=S, A+2=C, N+1=O, G+2=I, E+1=F). Let's re-evaluate. S+1=T, T+1=U (should be A+2=C), R+1=S, A+1=B, N+1=O, G+1=H, E+1=F. It's simply +1 for each letter. So FINGER -> GJOIFS. Not sure. Let's re-examine 'STRANGE' to 'TUSBOHF'. S->T (+1), T->U (+1), R->S (+1), A->B (+1), N->O (+1), G->H (+1), E->F (+1). Indeed, simple +1. So FINGER -> GJOIFS. Apologies for previous miscalculation. So F+1=G, I+1=J, N+1=O, G+1=H, E+1=F, R+1=S. So, GJOIFS.
