Answer:

every even number in Julian's pattern is composite: 10, 24, 38

Explanation:

All even numbers greater than 2 are composite. (They are a multiple of 2.) Alternate numbers in Julian's pattern are even, hence composite.

__

The portion of the sequence shown has no composite odd numbers, but the next number in this arithmetic sequence, 45, is composite and odd.
