Final answer:

The question seems to involve manipulating the letters in 'et cetera' by defined rules, but the options provided are for the non-altered word in capital letters. The correct spelling in capital letters is 'ETCETERA' as indicated by option (d).

Step-by-step explanation:

The student question involves manipulating the letters in the word 'et cetera' according to specific instructions. These types of activities help students understand the English language mechanics, including spelling and alphabetization. The phrase required is an abbreviation often used in English to indicate that a list is not exhaustive, and more items could be added.

The instructions for question 8 are as follows: Change the first letter in the word to the letter that comes right after it in the alphabet, make the second letter in the word a , and change the to the twenty-first letter of the alphabet. If we apply these rules to the phrase in question:

  1. Change the first letter 'E' to 'F' (the next letter in the alphabet).
  2. Make the second letter a 'C'.
  3. Replace 'A' with 'U' (the twenty-first letter).

However, the given options do not reflect these changes. Hence, it is difficult to provide a direct answer from the provided options. Regardless, let us examine the options:

  • ETCETERA is the correct non-altered spelling of the word in all capital letters without an apostrophe.

Therefore, the final answer based on standard spelling without modifications is option d. ETCETERA.
