If ROME is written as MORE, then DARE is written as
  1. a.RDAE
  2. b.RDEA
  3. c.RAED
  4. d.RADE

Answer: (D) RADE

The transformation swaps the first and third letters of the word (positions 1 and 3) while keeping positions 2 and 4 fixed: R-O-M-E becomes M-O-R-E (R and M swap). Applying the same swap to D-A-R-E (swapping positions 1 and 3, D and R) gives R-A-D-E, i.e. RADE.
