Analyze Commonality
Compare the given coded strings to isolate individual words. 'gold' is common in sentences 1 and 2; its corresponding code is 'mh'. 'silence' is common in sentences 1 and 3; its code is 'nu'.
Identify Remaining Words
From sentence 2 ('gold is precious' = 'mh bi py') and sentence 3 ('silence is calm' = 'nu py gh'), 'is' is common to both, sharing the code 'py'.
Final Conclusion
Since 'gold' = 'mh' and 'silence' = 'nu', the code for 'gold silence' is 'mh nu'.
B: 'nu ke' is incorrect because 'ke' refers to 'words' (from sentence 1). C: 'bi ke' is incorrect as 'bi' is 'precious' and 'ke' is 'words'. D: 'mh bi' is incorrect as 'bi' corresponds to 'precious'.
A is correct because 'gold' maps to 'mh' and 'silence' maps to 'nu' based on cross-referencing the three provided sentences.
