In the following question, the second word is related to the first word by a specific pattern of letter transformation. Identify the same pattern and apply it to the third word to find the correct option that completes the analogy.
COLD : FRPE :: WARM : ?

The correct option is ZDVN.

To find the missing word in the analogy COLD : FRPE :: WARM : ?, let us analyze the letter transformation pattern applied to the first pair of words (COLD to FRPE):

1. C → F: The letter C (3rd letter of the alphabet) moves forward by 3 positions to become F (6th letter).
2. O → R: The letter O (15th letter) moves forward by 3 positions to become R (18th letter).
3. L → P: The letter L (12th letter) moves forward by 4 positions to become P (16th letter).
4. D → E: The letter D (4th letter) moves forward by 1 position to become E (5th letter).

The position shift sequence applied to the letters of the first word is +3, +3, +4, +1.

Now, let us apply this exact same pattern to the word WARM:

1. W + 3: Moving 3 positions forward from W gives Z.
2. A + 3: Moving 3 positions forward from A gives D.
3. R + 4: Moving 4 positions forward from R gives V.
4. M + 1: Moving 1 position forward from M gives N.

Combining these resulting letters gives ZDVN.
