To determine the next group of letters in the series SZ, YR, QX, WP, we need to examine the patterns present in the letters.

1. **First Letters**:

- The first letters in each pair are S, Y, Q, W.

- The movement through the alphabet can be analyzed as follows:

- S (19th letter), Y (25th letter): Move forward 6 letters

- Y (25th letter), Q (17th letter): Move backward 8 letters

- Q (17th letter), W (23rd letter): Move forward 6 letters

Following this pattern, the next movement would be backward 8 letters from W (23rd letter).

- Moving 8 letters back from W:

- W (23) → V (22) → U (21) → T (20) → S (19) → R (18) → Q (17) → P (16) → O (15)

- The result is O as the first letter of the next pair.

2. **Second Letters**:

- The second letters in each pair are Z, R, X, P.
