In a certain code language, ‘dabo zuvi doru’ means ‘rain falls today’; ‘suko numo zuvi’ means ‘heavy rain again’; ‘daki numo doru’ means ‘today was heavy’. What is the code for ‘was’?
Correct answer A. daki
Explanation
'was' appears only in 'today was heavy'. Comparing the other sentences fixes 'today' = 'doru', 'heavy' = 'numo', so the code left over in that sentence, 'daki', must stand for 'was'.
