In a code, 'blue bird' is written 'pa ze', 'blue sky' is written 'pa lo' and 'big sky' is written 'ru lo'. What does 'ze' mean?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. bird
- Step 1: 'Blue' is in the first two phrases, so pa = blue. Step 2. That leaves ze for 'bird' in the first phrase. Answer: bird. Why not the others: blue: This is the word shared by the first two phrases, written 'pa'. sky: This is the word shared by the last two phrases, written 'lo'. big: This is written 'ru'.
