- The given series is BCE, HIK, NOQ, TUW, and the missing term.

- Examine the patterns between the letters in each term:

- Each term consists of three consecutive letters.

- For BCE: B is the 2nd, C is the 3rd, E is the 5th letter of the alphabet.

- For HIK: H is the 8th, I is the 9th, K is the 11th letter.

- For NOQ: N is 14th, O is 15th, Q is 17th letter.

- For TUW: T is 20th, U is 21st, W is 23rd letter.

- Observe the sequence: 2, 3, 5; 8, 9, 11; 14, 15, 17; 20, 21, 23.

- The pattern is increasing by 6 in the first position of each term.

- Therefore, add 6 to 20 to complete the sequence: 26, 27, 29.

- 26th is Z, 27th is A, 29th is C.

- ZAC is the next sequence as it aligns with the pattern.
