Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Analyze the given phrases:
Phrase 1: "It's your life" = "Ao Bo Co"
Phrase 2: "It's your food" = "Ba Co Bo"
Identify commonalities:
The words "It's" and "your" appear in both phrases.
Looking at the codes, "Bo" and "Co" appear in both sets of codes.
This means "It's" and "your" are represented by "Bo" and "Co" (we do not need to know which is which to solve for "food").
Isolate the target word:
In the second phrase ("It's your food"), the only word that does not appear in the first phrase is "food".
In the second phrase's code ("Ba Co Bo"), the only code that does not appear in the first phrase's code is "Ba".
Therefore, "food" must be represented by "Ba".
