In the sequence D, O, N, E, what is the third item?

• A. D
• B. O
• C. N
• D. E

Answer: (C)

This question tests understanding of order in a sequence. The four items are the letters that spell the word DONE in order: first is D, second is O, third is N, and fourth is E. Therefore the third position holds N. The other options correspond to the first, second, and fourth positions, not the third.
