Directions: Select the letter sequence that, when placed sequentially in the blanks, completes the repeating pattern:

f _ h i j _ g _ _ j f g h i _

The correct option is g f h i j.

To determine the letter sequence that completes the pattern, let us observe the total sequence length and the distribution of blanks.

Given pattern with 5 blanks:
f _ h i j _ g _ _ j f g h i _

Placing the letters g, f, h, i, j sequentially into the five blanks gives:

1. 1st blank: Insert g → f g h i j
2. 2nd blank: Insert f → f g
3. 3rd blank: Insert h → g h
4. 4th blank: Insert i → i j
5. 5th blank: Insert j → f g h i j

Putting the complete sequence together:
f g h i j | f g h i j | f g h i j

This creates a clear repeating pattern where the 5-letter group f g h i j is repeated 3 times.

Thus, the required sequence of letters is g f h i j.
