Identify the actual real-world location first, then look at the given rule to see what that location is substituted as in the code.
Identify the actual real-world location first, then look at the given rule to see what that location is substituted as in the code.
Identify the actual location
In reality, birds fly in the sky.
Apply the substitution rule
According to the given code, sky is substituted by star. Therefore, wherever birds fly (the sky), we must replace that with star.
A: Sky is the actual location, not the coded answer; C: Cloud is the substitution for star, not for sky; D: Earth is the substitution for cloud, which is unrelated to the location of birds.
B is correct because the problem defines the word sky as star, and since birds fly in the sky, the correct substitution is star.
Always distinguish between the 'real-world fact' and the 'given coding rule'. The answer is not the real location, but the specific term assigned to that location in the code.
