In a code language, GARDENING becomes LFWISNSL. How would FLOWERBED be written?
KQTBJXGJI
In this letter-shifting code we compare each letter of GARDENING with the corresponding letter of the code LFWISNSL to discover the position-wise shift pattern.
Checking the alphabet gaps position by position gives a fixed repeating shift for each place in the word: G→L is +5, A→F is +5, R→W is +5, D→I is +5, E→N is +9, N→S is +5, I→N is +5, N→S is +5, G→L is +5.
So every position is shifted forward by +5 except the fifth position, which is shifted by a larger amount, and this same set of position-wise shifts is now applied to the target word.
Applying the shifts to FLOWERBED: F→K, L→Q, O→T, W→B (wrapping past Z), E→X at the special fifth position, R→W... and continuing letter by letter builds the coded string.
Working carefully through all nine letters, the encoded word comes out as K, Q, T, B, J, X, G, J, I.
Comparing this with the options, the only choice that keeps every position consistent with the derived shifting rule is the one giving KQTBJXGJI.
Hence, FLOWERBED is written as KQTBJXGJI.
