Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
'the' is in all three sentences; 'ri' is the only code in all three, so 'the' is 'ri'.
'open' is in the first and third sentences; apart from 'ri' they share 'ja', so 'open' is 'ja'.
The first sentence 'ja ko ri' then leaves 'ko' for 'window'.
Worth noting
'te' is shared by the second and third sentences, so it is 'door'.
