Correct Answer :

Option E

Z

Z

Solution :

To find the correct answer, let us analyze the letters of the given word step-by-step.

The given word is ‘FACTUALLY’.
Let us write down the position of each letter from the left end:
1st letter = F
2nd letter = A
3rd letter = C
4th letter = T
5th letter = U
6th letter = A
7th letter = L
8th letter = L
9th letter = Y

Now, we extract the second, third, seventh, and ninth letters from the left end:
- 2nd letter = A
- 3rd letter = C
- 7th letter = L
- 9th letter = Y

The letters we have obtained are A, C, L, and Y.

Let us try to form meaningful English words using each of these four letters exactly once:
1. CLAY (a stiff, sticky fine-grained earth)
2. LACY (made of or resembling lace)

Since we can form more than one meaningful English word, according to the given instructions, we must mark Z as the answer.

Therefore, the correct answer option is Z.
