If every alternative letter of the English alphabet from B onwards (including B) is written in lower case (small letters) and the remaining letters are capitalized, then how is the first month of the second half of the year written?

Correct Answer: (D) jULY

Alternating from B onwards in lower case means all even-positioned letters (B=2, D=4, F=6, H=8, J=10, L=12, ...) are small, and odd-positioned letters (A=1, C=3, ..., U=21, Y=25) are capital. The first month of the second half of the year is JULY. J(10) is small (j), U(21) is capital (U), L(12) is small (l), and Y(25) is capital (Y), yielding jUlY (option D).
