If every alternative letter of the English alphabet from B onwards (including B) is written in lower case (small letters) and the remaining letters are capitalized, then how is the first month of the second half of the year written?
- A.JuLY
- B.jULy
- C.jUly
- D.jUlY
▶ Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: D. jUlY
The rule states that starting from 'B', every alternative letter is in lowercase, while the rest are in uppercase. This means B, D, F, H, etc., are lowercase, and A, C, E, G, etc., are uppercase. The first month of the second half of the year is July. Applying the rule, J (9th letter) is uppercase, U (21st letter) is uppercase, L (12th letter) is lowercase, and Y (25th letter) is uppercase. Therefore, July is written as 'jULY'.
