The correct answer is
Bb

To solve this problem, we need to decode the given phrases and their corresponding codes to identify the code for the word 'cooks'. Let's analyze the information step by step:

  1. Given Information:
    • 'chef cooks food' is coded as 'Bb Cc Ee'
    • 'food is healthy' is coded as 'Cc Pp Mm'
    • 'chef eats healthy' is coded as 'Pp Jj Ee'
  2. Identify common words and codes:
    • The word 'food' appears in both 'chef cooks food' and 'food is healthy'. The common code between these two is 'Cc'. So, 'food' is coded as 'Cc'.
    • The word 'chef' appears in 'chef cooks food' and 'chef eats healthy'. The common code between these two is 'Ee'. So, 'chef' is coded as 'Ee'.
    • Since 'healthy' is in both 'food is healthy' and 'chef eats healthy' with the common code 'Pp', 'healthy' is coded as 'Pp'.
  3. Determine the code for 'cooks':
    • Now that we know 'food' is 'Cc' and 'chef' is 'Ee', in the phrase 'chef cooks food', the remaining code 'Bb' must be for 'cooks'.
  4. Verification:
    • To confirm, let's look at all words and their codes:
    • 'chef' = 'Ee', 'food' = 'Cc', 'healthy' = 'Pp'.
    • 'cooks' must indeed be 'Bb' as per elimination.

Therefore, the code for the word 'cooks' in that language is 'Bb'.
