In a certain code, MARKET is written as OCTMGV. Using the same rule, how will SHARE be written?
SHARE is coded as UJCTG. The rule from MARKET to OCTMGV moves every letter two places forward in the alphabet, so S becomes U, H becomes J, A becomes C, R becomes T and E becomes G.

- BUJCTF

- DQFYPC
Explanation
Each letter is shifted forward by 2: M->O, A->C, R->T, K->M, E->G, T->V. Apply to SHARE: S->U, H->J, A->C, R->T, E->G, giving UJCTG. QFYPC shifts backward by 2, the wrong direction.
