In a certain code language, ‘zaki kiti zumu’ means ‘read your book’; ‘poma zumu zipa’ means ‘your new pen’; ‘poma kiti vomu budu’ means ‘new book is here’. What is the code for ‘pen’?

Correct answer B. zipa

Explanation

'pen' appears only in 'your new pen'. Comparing the other sentences fixes 'your' = 'zumu', 'new' = 'poma', so the code left over in that sentence, 'zipa', must stand for 'pen'.
