Identify common words between sentences and their corresponding codes to isolate the unique word 'brightly'.
Identify common words between sentences and their corresponding codes to isolate the unique word 'brightly'.
Compare the two given coded sentences
Sentence 1: 'sparkling stars twinkle' = 'lajv epvz apxv'. Sentence 2: 'stars twinkle brightly' = 'epvz rkpx apxv'.
Identify common words and their codes
The words 'stars' and 'twinkle' are common to both sentences. The codes 'epvz' and 'apxv' are common to both sets of codes. Thus, 'stars' and 'twinkle' correspond to 'epvz' and 'apxv' (in any order).
Deduce the code for 'brightly'
Since 'stars' and 'twinkle' account for 'epvz' and 'apxv', the remaining word 'brightly' in the second sentence must correspond to the remaining code 'rkpx'.
A: 'apxv' is a code for either 'stars' or 'twinkle', not 'brightly'. B: 'epvz' is a code for either 'stars' or 'twinkle', not 'brightly'. C: 'lajv' is the code for 'sparkling'.
D is correct because 'rkpx' is the only code remaining in the second sentence once the common codes for 'stars' and 'twinkle' are removed.
In coding-decoding questions, always look for shared words across sentences first to eliminate known mappings before trying complex letter-shifting patterns.
