- The given sequence is: 18, 24, 197, 8, 98, 11, 1417, ?, 14.

- Notice any pair of adjacent numbers seem to be related in a mathematical way.

Here's a breakdown:

- 18 and 197:

- 18 × 11 - 1 = 197

- 8 and 98:

- 8 × 12 + 2 = 98

- 11 and 1417:

- 11 × 129 - 4 = 1417

- There is a pattern with alternating multiplication and addition/subtraction.

- Predict the missing number with 14:

- As the pattern implies an odd number of steps between transformations, 14 could follow with a consistent pattern.

- 14 × 2 + 1 (simple pattern) = 29 (it's incorrect since it doesn’t fit)

- 14 × 3 - 7 = 35 ('close, needs adj)

Upon reviewing choices, let's consider the leading logical option that follows a hidden unique rule:

- ?? Option 2, 21 matches the sequence flow logically (8 each factor outcome of steps, fits a cross mystery)

Option 2, 21 is the replacement.
