Question

In the image below, three-letter words appear horizontally in a line, together, and in the normal reading order. The word SET has been highlighted for you in the first line. Including SET, how many 3-letter English words are there? 

• A. 5
• B. 6
• C. 7
• D. 8

Hint:

In word search puzzles found in competitive exams, stick to common, everyday English words. Avoid archaic words, slang, abbreviations, or proper nouns unless the context suggests otherwise.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept: 
The task is to find all the three-letter English words hidden horizontally within the given block of text. We need to scan the text from left to right, line by line. 
Step 2: Key Formula or Approach: 
We will read through each line of the text and check every consecutive sequence of three letters to see if it forms a common English word. 
Step 3: Detailed Explanation: 
Let's examine each line: 
Line 1: TZLSETIIZIHUBHRVNWSBSBANSANSVHUZDGXB - SET: Given in the question. - HUB: A common word. - BAN: A common word. - ANS: Less common as a word itself (plural of 'an'), often an abbreviation. In the context of these puzzles, usually only very common words are considered. Let's hold on this one. 

Line 2: BPTKHPJLMHSQHIDGXFAKLZNJMEMVVCOE - HID: A common word. - MEM: Uncommon as a word (more of a prefix or abbreviation). - COE: Very uncommon. 

Line 3: NNFOXPOCUCOMNUHTMWPPDDNHPNZM - FOX: A common word. 

Line 4: LAZRVZCUNUDQABVBABMRWCWBXXONN - (Scanning reveals no common 3-letter words. CUN is slang/archaic, NUD is a variant of nude, BAB is slangy - likely not intended). 

Line 5: DIPTRFOQWXOECIPPVZESYKSHBGGHRTYG - DIP: A common word. Let's compile a list of the most likely intended words, which are common and unambiguous: 1. SET 2. HUB 3. BAN 4. HID 5. FOX 6. DIP Words like "ANS", "MEM", "BAB", "NUD" are less common or used in specific contexts, and are likely not part of the intended answer for a general puzzle. This list of 6 common words is the most plausible answer. 

Step 4: Final Answer: 
Including the given word SET, there are 6 three-letter English words in the image: SET, HUB, BAN, HID, FOX, DIP.
