    -14

  2. B.

    -8

  3. C.

    10

  4. D.

    16

Answer

A

Explanation

Pattern: Alternating subtraction and addition of positional values of letters: R(18),A(1),S(19),C(3),A(1),L(12)\text{R}(18), \text{A}(1), \text{S}(19), \text{C}(3), \text{A}(1), \text{L}(12) −18+1−19+3−1+12=−22-18 + 1 - 19 + 3 - 1 + 12 = -22

For SIMPLE: S(19),I(9),M(13),P(16),L(12),E(5)\text{S}(19), \text{I}(9), \text{M}(13), \text{P}(16), \text{L}(12), \text{E}(5) −19+9−13+16−12+5=−14-19 + 9 - 13 + 16 - 12 + 5 = -14.
