Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
In this coding system, every 3-character code represents three specific attributes of a word:
First Symbol (Starting Letter Type):
Words starting with a Vowel use symbols like & or ! (for example, "All" or "are").
Words starting with a Consonant use symbols like $ or ^ (for example, "tree", "Pass", or "here").
Middle Symbol (Word Length):
3-letter words use @ (e.g., "All", "are").
4-letter words use # (e.g., "tree", "Pass", "here", "Boys", "toss", "bowl", "true", "side").
5-letter words use % (e.g., "equal", "there").
6+ letter words use symbols like & or ! (e.g., "people", "groups", "Vowel").
Third Symbol (Ending Letter Type):
Words ending with a Vowel use + (e.g., "tree", "here", "true").
Words ending with a Consonant use * or ? (e.g., "Pass", "All").
When applying this exact logic to the word "Blue":
Starts with 'B' (Consonant): The first symbol is ^
Length is 4 letters (B-L-U-E): The middle symbol is #
Ends with 'E' (Vowel): The last symbol is +
Combining these three components gives the final code ^#+, which corresponds to Option C. Including this detailed breakdown provides the student with the complete reasoning behind the answer.
