Final answer:
The question seems to contain a typo, but based on the described pattern of shifting each alphabet letter back two places, the word JINKS would translate to 'HGLIQ'. This result does not match any of the provided answer choices, suggesting an error in the question or choices.
Step-by-step explanation:
By analyzing the given words and their coded counterparts, we can see that the code involves shifting each letter back by two places in the alphabet. Applying this to the word JINKS:
J shifts back to H
I shifts back to G
N shifts back to L
K shifts back to I
S shifts back to Q
However, there seems to be a typo; following the pattern, the letter S would shift back to Q, not to G as needed to match the answer choices. Assuming the correct shift is in place, the coded word would be 'HGLIQ', which does not match any of the provided choices.
Given the typo, we must assume an error either in the coding sequence or in the question's answer choices. Nonetheless, using the described letter-shifting pattern, none of the answer choices provided (FGLGG, GFJEG, EJFGE, FJGGE) match the expected output. Therefore, it is impossible to determine the correct answer without additional information or correction of the typo.
