Identify the letter that completes the given sequence.

C, H, M, R, ?

The correct answer is W.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the missing letter in the given sequence, we analyze the numerical position of each letter in the English alphabet:

• C is the 3^rd letter.
• H is the 8^th letter.
• M is the 13^th letter.
• R is the 18^th letter.

Next, examine the pattern between consecutive terms:

3 + 5 = 8 (H)
8 + 5 = 13 (M)
13 + 5 = 18 (R)

The pattern adds 5 to the alphabetical position of each preceding letter.

To determine the next letter in the sequence, add 5 to the position of R (18):
18 + 5 = 23

The 23^rd letter of the English alphabet is W.

Therefore, the completed sequence is C, H, M, R, W.
