Word series SUN MON TUE WED – UGC NET Question

The series lists abbreviations of the days of the week in order: SUN (Sunday), MON (Monday), TUE (Tuesday) and WED (Wednesday). The next day in the weekly sequence is Thursday, abbreviated as THU. Therefore THU is the only term that continues this ordered list of weekdays.

Option A:
Option A, FRI, represents Friday, which comes after Thursday in the weekly cycle. Choosing FRI would skip Thursday and break the strict day-by-day sequence. Hence FRI cannot be the immediate next term.

Option B:
Option B is correct because THU stands for Thursday, the day following Wednesday. It maintains the exact chronological order of the days. This alignment with the familiar weekly pattern makes THU the logical continuation.

Option C:
Option C, SAT, corresponds to Saturday and is two days ahead of Thursday. Using SAT would skip multiple days, which the series does not do. Therefore SAT is not a valid next term.

Option D:
Option D, SUN, would restart the sequence from Sunday. There is no indication that the pattern cycles after Wednesday here. As the list is still in mid-week, SUN cannot be the correct answer.
