Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
In a direct letter-substitution code, each letter keeps the same assigned digit wherever it appears.
Repeated letters therefore repeat the same digit, and the example word supplies the letter-to-digit mapping.
Application
The intended British spelling ‘Generalisation’ matches the supplied code. Reading corresponding positions gives:
Letter | Digit |
|---|---|
G | 5 |
E | 2 |
N | 6 |
R | 7 |
A | 1 |
L | 3 |
I | 4 |
S | 8 |
T | 9 |
O | 0 |
Write O-R-E-G-A-N-O-S in order.
Replace the letters using the table: 0-7-2-5-1-6-0-8.
Join the digits without separators to obtain 07251608.
Cross-check
In the example, repeated E, A, I and N consistently repeat 2, 1, 4 and 6. The two O positions in ‘Oreganos’ likewise both carry 0.
Result
‘Oreganos’ is coded as 07251608.
