Select the missing term in the sequence:

V, ?, F, K, P, U, Z

The correct option is A.

To find the missing term in the sequence, let us analyze the alphabetical positions of each letter in the English alphabet (where A = 1, B = 2, ..., Z = 26):

V = 22
? = missing term
F = 6
K = 11
P = 16
U = 21
Z = 26

Let us observe the pattern established by the consecutive terms at the end of the sequence:

$6+5=11$ (F to K)
$11+5=16$ (K to P)
$16+5=21$ (P to U)
$21+5=26$ (U to Z)

The rule of the sequence is to add 5 to the positional value of each letter to obtain the next letter. When the position exceeds 26, the count wraps around to the beginning of the alphabet.

Now, applying this rule to find the term immediately following V (position 22):

$22+5=27$

Since there are 26 letters in the alphabet, position 27 wraps around to:

$27-26=1$

The 1^st letter of the alphabet is A.

We can verify this by checking the step from the missing term (A = 1) to the subsequent term (F = 6):

$1+5=6$ (which corresponds to F)

Thus, the complete sequence is V, A, F, K, P, U, Z, and the missing term is A.
