Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
List the statements:
(1) "what where how" = "aa dd ff"
(2) "where there that" = "dd zz pp"
(3) "which what here" = "ff kk ll"
Compare to isolate words:
Comparing (1) and (2): Both statements share the word "where" and the code "dd". Therefore, "where" = "dd".
Comparing (1) and (3): Both statements share the word "what" and the code "ff". Therefore, "what" = "ff".
Now, look back at statement (1): "what where how" = "aa dd ff".
We know "what" = "ff".
We know "where" = "dd".
Therefore, the remaining word "how" must correspond to the remaining code "aa".
