Identify common words across the given sentences. 'Furious' appears in sentence 1 and 2. Compare the codes to find the one common string among them.
Analyze Statement 1 & 2
Compare 'fast and furious' (bo li ke) and 'quick is furious' (ke ra ng). The only common word is 'furious', and the only common code is 'ke'.
Verify with Statement 3
Compare 'fast but quick' (ng li ty). Here, 'fast' appears in (1) and (3), and 'li' is the common code. 'Quick' appears in (2) and (3), and 'ng' is the common code. This confirms 'ke' is isolated to 'furious'.
A: 'bo' is the code for 'and', B: 'ra' is the code for 'is', C: 'li' is the code for 'fast'.
D is correct because 'furious' is the only common word between the first two sentences, and 'ke' is the unique common code shared between them.
In such questions, always write down the sentences one below another and circle common words/codes to avoid transcription errors.
