$\textbf{(A) } \text{R E D} \qquad\textbf{(B) } \text{L S T E R} \qquad\textbf{(C) } \text{Q E D} \qquad\textbf{(D) } \text{L M N O P} \qquad\textbf{(E) } 42$


Brute Force(common sense)

The e and r are right so flip it and you’re only missing the d but by alphabetical order d=4 s=19 t=20 l=12 20/19=1(rounded), +19=20 lster is 5 letters so divide it by 5, 20/5=4(d) and the l is irrelevant. So its $\textbf{(B)}$
