Decoding the Code Language
This question involves solving a simple substitution cipher based on comparing given coded phrases.
Step 1: Analyze Sentence Codes
We are given three sentences and their corresponding codes:
- "The book is interesting" is coded as "mo no lo po"
- "The book is boring" is coded as "mo no to po"
- "The movie is interesting" is coded as "do no lo po"
Step 2: Identify Word-Code Correspondences
By comparing the sentences and codes, we can find the code for each word:
- Compare "The book is interesting" (mo no lo po) and "The book is boring" (mo no to po). The common part is "The book is" / "mo no po". The differing words are "interesting" and "boring", and the differing codes are "lo" and "to". This implies:
- interesting = lo
- boring = to
- Compare "The book is interesting" (mo no lo po) and "The movie is interesting" (do no lo po). The common part is "The ... is interesting" / "no lo po". The differing words are "book" and "movie", and the differing codes are "mo" and "do". This implies:
- book = mo
- movie = do
- The word "is" is present in all three sentences, and "no" is present in all three codes. Thus:
- is = no
- The word "The" is present in all three sentences, and "po" is present in all three codes. Thus:
- The = po
Step 3: Summarize Word Codes
The final mapping is:
| Word | Code |
| The | po |
| book | mo |
| is | no |
| interesting | lo |
| boring | to |
| movie | do |
Step 4: Determine Code for Target Phrase
We need the code for "The movie is boring". Using the mapping:
- The = po
- movie = do
- is = no
- boring = to
The set of codes is {do, no, po, to}.
Observing the order in the examples (e.g., "The movie is interesting" -> "do no lo po"), the code order appears to be: movie (do), is (no), The (po), interesting (lo). Applying this order to our target phrase "The movie is boring": movie (do), is (no), The (po), boring (to).
Therefore, the code is do no po to.
