- To decode the words, observe the pattern in the given examples.

- In ‘FESTIVE’, F=6, E=5, S=19, T=20, I=9, V=22, E=5.

- Then substitute: F+E, E+S, S+T, T+I, I+V, V+E: 11, 24, 39, 29, 31, 27 ? simplify as 16113215011.

- In ‘HUNGER’, H=8, U=21, N=14, G=7, E=5, R=18.

- Then substitute: H+U, U+N, N+G, G+E, E+R: 29, 35, 21, 12, 23 ? simplify as 1427815114.

- Repeat the logic for ‘GRUDGE’: G=7, R=18, U=21, D=4, G=7, E=5.

- Combine: G+R, R+U, U+D, D+G, G+E: 25, 39, 25, 11, 12 ? simplify as 154271812.

- Option 4, ‘15427181511’, maintains the pattern.

Option 4 is CORRECT.
