Question 65

HardOriginal question

CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. 'tea' and 'helps' appear together in the first two sentences and nowhere else, so they share 'mi' and 'pak' with no way to split them.

  2. 'green' is what is left of the first sentence after 'mi' and 'pak': 'lo'. 'sleep' is in the second and third sentences: 'sur'.

  3. 'early' is in the third and fourth: 'bin'. The third sentence then leaves 'ka' for 'well'.

  4. So only the code for 'tea' cannot be found.

Worth noting

Two words that always appear together can never be told apart. 'green' looks harder because it appears once, but elimination fixes it.
