In a repeating color pattern Red, Blue, Red, Blue, Red, what is the color of the 7th item?

• A. Blue
• B. Green
• C. Yellow
• D. Red

Answer: (D)

Recognize a simple alternating pattern. The colors switch between Red and Blue in a repeat, so odd positions are Red and even positions are Blue. The seventh item is an odd position, so it must be Red. The other colors listed don’t appear in this pattern, and Blue would come on even positions.
