If in a certain code language 'pit na som' means 'bring me water', 'na jo tak' means 'water is cold' and 'som ho jo' means 'bring cold drinks', which word means 'water'?
- A. pit
- B. na
- C. som
- D. jo
Explanation
The first two phrases share only the word water in meaning and only na in code, so na must be water. Cross referencing pairs of sentences to find the single shared element is the standard method for substitution codes. The third sentence then confirms that som is bring and jo is cold.
