Given Word: UNDISCRIMINATING
Rule 1: All vowels are replaced by the immediate next consonants from the English alphabet series (represented as +1 in alphabetical order). Consonants remain unchanged.
Applying the rule to each letter of "UNDISCRIMINATING":
Original Letter | U | N | D | I | S | C | R | I | M | I | N | A | T | I | N | G |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Transformation | +1 | No change | No change | +1 | No change | No change | No change | +1 | No change | +1 | No change | +1 | No change | +1 | No change | No change |
Transformed Letter | V | N | D | J | S | C | R | J | M | J | N | B | T | J | N | G |

Rule 2: The letters of the new word are arranged alphabetically.
The letters are: V, N, D, J, S, C, R, J, M, J, N, B, T, J, N, G
Arranging them alphabetically:
