Identify words common to multiple sentences and find the code shared by those same sentences to isolate the target word.
Analyze Statement 1 and 3
Statement 1: 'birds fly very high' тЖТ 'pa la ni ka'. Statement 3: 'birds are beautiful' тЖТ 'pa sa ta'. The common word between these is 'birds', and the common code is 'pa'.
Verify against Statement 2
Statement 2: 'high clouds are white' тЖТ 'da la ra sa'. 'high' is in Statement 1 and 2, which share the code 'la'. 'are' is in Statement 2 and 3, which share the code 'sa'. This confirms 'birds' corresponds to 'pa'.
B: 'la' corresponds to 'high' as it is common between statement 1 and 2. C: 'sa' corresponds to 'are' as it is common between statement 2 and 3. D: 'ta' corresponds to 'beautiful' as it remains after identifying 'pa' and 'sa' in statement 3.
A is correct because 'birds' is the only common word between the first and third statements, and 'pa' is the only common code shared between those specific statements.
