Detailed Solution & Explanation

We are given the sequence of letter pairs: AZ, GT, MN, ______, YB, EV.
Let's analyze each pair:
- Each pair consists of letters that are opposites in the alphabet (their alphabetic positions sum to 27\displaystyle 27):
- A (1) + Z (26) = 27
- G (7) + T (20) = 27
- M (13) + N (14) = 27
- Y (25) + B (2) = 27
- E (5) + V (22) = 27
Let's examine the first letter of each pair in the sequence: A, G, M, ?, Y, E.
- Let's write down their alphabetic positions: A (1), G (7), M (13), ?, Y (25), E (31 or 5).
- We observe a constant difference of +6\displaystyle +6 between the positions:
- 1+6=7\displaystyle 1 + 6 = 7 (G)
- 7+6=13\displaystyle 7 + 6 = 13 (M)
- 13+6=19\displaystyle 13 + 6 = 19 (S)
- 19+6=25\displaystyle 19 + 6 = 25 (Y)
- 25+6=315\displaystyle 25 + 6 = 31 \equiv 5 (E)
So the first letter of the missing pair is **S** (19).
The opposite letter to S is **H** (since 2719=8\displaystyle 27 - 19 = 8, which is H).
Therefore, the missing term is **SH**.
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
