Question 60

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. 'blue' is in the first two sentences, so it is 5. 'water' is in the last two, so it is 6.

  2. The second sentence '5 1 6' then leaves 1 for 'sea'.

  3. So 'sea' is 1.

Worth noting

6 is 'water', shared by the second and third sentences. 3 and 2 are the leftover codes for 'sky' and 'cool'.
