Doubling the last consonant before adding -ing ensures that the vowel before the consonant remains short, maintaining the word's original pronunciation. This spelling rule helps to indicate the correct pronunciation and tense of the word.
It would be a gaping hole. Gape ends in 'e' so you drop the 'e' before adding '-ing'. However, on a word that ends in a consonant, such as "hop", you double the last letter and add -ing (hopping).
A fool
The last letter is N. Three letters before the last letter is E. Two letters before the E is A. The answer is the A.
You are "U." The first letter of "first" is "F," and the middle of "you" (which is "O") can be interpreted as "double of you," suggesting "U" is the answer. The first letter of "last" is "L," which corresponds to the last letter of "you," reinforcing that the answer is indeed "U."
The riddle is describing a sequence where the first letter of the word "first" is 'f', the second letter of the word "you" is 'o', the double of 'f' is 'ff' (the second letter of "off"), the first letter of the word "last" is 'l', and the last letter of "you" is 'u'. Putting it all together, the answer is "follow."

D. adding -s to the word
V....before the last, next to last
If you want the next letter after a given letter, add one. For the previous letter, subtract one. Depending on the programming language, some additional details may be required - such as converting from text to number before adding, and converting back after adding. You'll also have to decide what to do when you get past the last letter - past the "Z" when going up, or past the "A" when going down.
J has never been the last letter of the Alphabet.
