To solve the problem of completing the letter patterns, we need to identify the underlying pattern in each sequence and extend it accordingly. Let's analyze each part step by step:
---
(a) A, C, E, G, I
- The sequence is skipping every other letter in the alphabet.
- The next three letters following this pattern are:
K, M, O.
---
(b) A, D, G, J, M
- The sequence is skipping two letters between each consecutive letter.
- The next three letters following this pattern are:
P, S, V.
---
(c) A, C, F, H, K
- This sequence alternates between skipping 1 letter and skipping 2 letters.
- From A to C: skip 1 letter (B).
- From C to F: skip 2 letters (D, E).
- From F to H: skip 1 letter (G).
- From H to K: skip 2 letters (I, J).
- Continuing this pattern:
- From K: skip 1 letter →
L.
- From L: skip 2 letters →
N, O →
P.
- From P: skip 1 letter →
Q.
- The next three letters are:
L, P, Q.
---
(d) Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd
- The sequence is simply listing consecutive letters in both uppercase and lowercase forms.
- The next three pairs are:
Ee, Ff, Gg.
---
(e) AbB, CdD, EfF
- Each term consists of a lowercase letter followed by an uppercase letter repeated twice.
- The sequence of lowercase letters is increasing alphabetically (A, C, E, ...).
- The next three terms are:
- After E:
GhH.
- After G:
IjJ.
- After I:
KlL.
- The next three terms are:
GhH, IjJ, KlL.
---
(f) AcB, CeD, EgF
- Each term consists of a lowercase letter, followed by an uppercase letter, followed by another lowercase letter.
- The sequence of the first lowercase letters is increasing alphabetically (A, C, E, ...).
- The second letter is always the uppercase version of the first letter.
- The third letter is the next letter after the second letter in the alphabet.
- The next three terms are:
- After E:
GiH.
- After G:
IkJ.
- After I:
KmN.
- The next three terms are:
GiH, IkJ, KmN.
---
(g) AZy, BYx, CXw
- Each term consists of:
- The first letter increasing alphabetically (A, B, C, ...).
- The second letter decreasing alphabetically from Z (Z, Y, X, ...).
- The third letter decreasing alphabetically from y (y, x, w, ...).
- The next three terms are:
- After C:
DYv.
- After D:
EZu.
- After E:
FXt.
- The next three terms are:
DYv, EZu, FXt.
---
(h) KmP, LnQ, MoR
- Each term consists of:
- The first letter increasing alphabetically (K, L, M, ...).
- The second letter increasing alphabetically (m, n, o, ...).
- The third letter increasing alphabetically (P, Q, R, ...).
- The next three terms are:
- After M:
NpS.
- After N:
OqT.
- After O:
PrU.
- The next three terms are:
NpS, OqT, PrU.

Final Answer
Putting all the answers together:
(a)
K, M, O
(b)
P, S, V
(c)
L, P, Q
(d)
Ee, Ff, Gg
(e)
GhH, IjJ, KlL
(f)
GiH, IkJ, KmN
(g)
DYv, EZu, FXt
(h)
NpS, OqT, PrU
$$
\boxed{
\text{(a) K, M, O} \\
\text{(b) P, S, V} \\
\text{(c) L, P, Q} \\
\text{(d) Ee, Ff, Gg} \\
\text{(e) GhH, IjJ, KlL} \\
\text{(f) GiH, IkJ, KmN} \\
\text{(g) DYv, EZu, FXt} \\
\text{(h) NpS, OqT, PrU}
}
$$
