Identify the common word between the given sentences and find the corresponding common code in their assigned sets.
Analyze the first sentence
Sentence 1 is 'sky is blue' with code 'ka la pa'. This means 'blue' must be one of these three: 'ka', 'la', or 'pa'.
Analyze the second sentence
Sentence 2 is 'blue ocean deep' with code 'pa ni so'. This means 'blue' must be one of these three: 'pa', 'ni', or 'so'.
Identify the common element
Comparing both sets, the word 'blue' appears in both sentences. The only code that appears in both 'ka la pa' and 'pa ni so' is 'pa'.
A: 'ka' is unique to sky/is; B: 'la' is unique to sky/is; D: 'so' is unique to ocean/deep.
C is correct because 'pa' is the only code that exists in both sentence groups containing the word 'blue'.
When multiple sentences are given, always look for words that repeat across rows to isolate their specific code immediately.
