To determine which letter is as far after H as E is before A, we need to first establish the positions of the letters in the alphabet. Starting with E and A, we can observe their positions: - A is the 1st letter. - E is the 5th letter. The distance between E and A is 4 letters (A, B, C, D, E). Hence, E is 4 letters ahead of A. Now let's look at H and find a letter that is 4 letters after it: - H is the 8th letter. - To find the letter that is 4 positions after H, we calculate: - I (9th), - J (10th), - K (11th), - L (12th). Thus, L is 4 letters after H. The letter that is as far after H (which is the 8th letter) as E is before A is L. Therefore, the correct answer is L rather than A, which means there's a misunderstanding regarding the computations for the notations.
