- Asia
- Bane
- Ccha
- Dtpl
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's isolate the codes for each word step-by-step:
Compare sentence 1 and sentence 2:
'chores are hobbies' → 'tpl esr nil'
'hobbies keep me busy' → 'cha esr lon ane'
Common word is 'hobbies', so code for 'hobbies' = 'esr'.
Compare sentence 1 and sentence 3:
'chores are hobbies' → 'tpl esr nil'
'busy with chores' → 'sia ane nil'
Common word is 'chores', so code for 'chores' = 'nil'.
Compare sentence 2 and sentence 3:
'hobbies keep me busy' → 'cha esr lon ane'
'busy with chores' → 'sia ane nil'
Common word is 'busy', so code for 'busy' = 'ane'.
Now examine sentence 3:
'busy with chores' → 'sia ane nil'
We already know: 'busy' = 'ane' and 'chores' = 'nil'.
The remaining word is 'with', and its corresponding remaining code is 'sia'.
Hence, the code for 'with' is sia.
Compare sentence 1 and sentence 2:
'chores are hobbies' → 'tpl esr nil'
'hobbies keep me busy' → 'cha esr lon ane'
Common word is 'hobbies', so code for 'hobbies' = 'esr'.
Compare sentence 1 and sentence 3:
'chores are hobbies' → 'tpl esr nil'
'busy with chores' → 'sia ane nil'
Common word is 'chores', so code for 'chores' = 'nil'.
Compare sentence 2 and sentence 3:
'hobbies keep me busy' → 'cha esr lon ane'
'busy with chores' → 'sia ane nil'
Common word is 'busy', so code for 'busy' = 'ane'.
Now examine sentence 3:
'busy with chores' → 'sia ane nil'
We already know: 'busy' = 'ane' and 'chores' = 'nil'.
The remaining word is 'with', and its corresponding remaining code is 'sia'.
Hence, the code for 'with' is sia.
