Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: pe
Explanation:
Compare the first two coded sentences: JA KI MO PE and MO LA KI SO. The common tokens are MO and KI, and the common English words are 'A' and 'LEAP', so MO and KI correspond to 'A' and 'LEAP' (in some order).
Compare the first and third coded sentences: JA KI MO PE and RE BO JA NA. The common token is JA and the common English word is 'FROG'S', so JA = FROG'S.
Removing JA (FROG'S) and the tokens for 'A' and 'LEAP' (MO and KI) from the first sentence leaves PE, so PE must correspond to 'AT'.
Therefore the code for AT is pe.
