13, 18, 23, 28, 38 is NOT a linear sequence. 13, 18, 23, 28 is a linear sequence, but your next term, 38, is a difference of 10, not 5. Furthermore, even if you had given the correct 5th term to make it linear, NONE of the given answers are correct for the 6th term.

I agree with the other tutor. This is not a linear sequence.
Sometimes there are typos in materials. Point it out to your
teacher.
