In a code, 'red apple' is written 'ka mo', 'green apple' is written 'ka li' and 'green leaf' is written 'ti li'. How is 'red' written?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. mo
- Step 1: 'Apple' is in the first two phrases, and 'ka' is in both, so ka = apple. Step 2. That leaves mo for 'red'. Answer: mo. Why not the others: ka: This stands for 'apple', which appears in both of the first two phrases. li: This stands for 'green', which appears in the last two phrases. ti: This stands for 'leaf'.
