Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Comparing statements (a) and (b), the common code 'see' corresponds to the common meaning 'juice'. Comparing statements (b) and (c), the common code 'lee' corresponds to the common meaning 'is'. In statement (b) ‘see kee lee’ means ‘juice is sweet’, we eliminate 'see' (juice) and 'lee' (is). This leaves 'kee' as the only remaining code for the meaning 'sweet'. Thus, option 1 is correct.
