{'letters': [0, 0, 0, 3], 'pattern': [1, 0, 1, 6], 'adhmsz': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'cfiosz': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'bejnqx': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'series': [0, 1, 1, 0], 'dgkpuy': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

In this question, we are given a sequence of letters and we need to determine which one follows a different pattern than the rest.

Option 1: ADHMSZ

Option 2: BEJNQX

Option 3: DGKPUY

Option 4: CFIOSZ

Upon analyzing the options, we can see that each option consists of a series of letters. To identify the pattern, let`s focus on the position of the letters in the alphabet.

Option 1: A (1), D (4), H (8), M (13), S (19), Z (26)

Option 2: B (2), E (5), J (10), N (14), Q (17), X (24)

Option 3: D (4), G (7), K (11), P (16), U (21), Y (25)

Option 4: C (3), F (6), I (9), O (15), S (19), Z (26)

Upon careful observation, we can see that the pattern in Option 1 is different from the rest. In Option 1, the letters are in sequential positions of prime numbers. This pattern is not present in the other options,
