Identify common words in both given sentences to isolate the unique code for 'morning'.
Analyze Sentence 1
The phrase 'morning sun rises' is coded as 'xyq tdj zat'.
Analyze Sentence 2
The phrase 'sun rises brightly' is coded as 'tdj zat rfp'.
Identify Common Elements
Comparing both phrases, the words 'sun' and 'rises' are common. Their corresponding codes, 'tdj' and 'zat', are also common to both sentences.
Isolate the Unique Word
Since 'sun' and 'rises' represent 'tdj' and 'zat', the only word remaining in the first sentence is 'morning', which must be represented by the only remaining code 'xyq'.
A: 'tdj' represents either 'sun' or 'rises'. B: 'zat' represents either 'sun' or 'rises'. D: 'rfp' represents 'brightly'.
C is correct because 'xyq' is the only code in 'xyq tdj zat' that does not appear in 'tdj zat rfp', just as 'morning' is the only word in 'morning sun rises' that does not appear in 'sun rises brightly'.
In coding questions with multiple sentences, always strike out the common words and their corresponding codes first to isolate the desired answer.
