Here are some words/tenses translated from artificial language:
'de fui la pane' means 'rose flower is beautiful'
'de la chin' means 'rose is red'
'fui to tac' means 'flowers are good'
What does 'World is beautiful' represents in the same language?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → pa la pane
A word that appears in two sentences has its code in both coded sentences, so comparing the sentences two at a time gives each code.
Sentences 1 and 2 share ‘rose’ and ‘is’, and their codes share ‘de’ and ‘la’. So ‘de’ and ‘la’ stand for ‘rose’ and ‘is’ in some order.
Sentences 1 and 3 share ‘flower(s)’, and their codes share ‘fui’. So fui = flower.
The one code of sentence 1 still left, ‘pane’, is the one word still left: pane = beautiful.
‘World is beautiful’ must therefore contain ‘pane’, the code for ‘is’ (de or la), and a new code for ‘world’ that appears in none of the three sentences. pa la pane is the only option that fits: pa = world, la = is, pane = beautiful.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (1) fui la pa — Incorrect. It has fui (flower) and no pane, so it cannot mean ‘beautiful’.
Option (2) chin la pane — Incorrect. ‘chin’ is the code for red (the only word of sentence 2 left over), not for world.
Option (4) fui la pane — Incorrect. It means ‘flower is beautiful’, since fui is flower.
