Solving
To find the code for "late", we use the method of elimination by comparing the sentences:
1. Compare Sentence 1 and Sentence 2:
-
Common Code: "me"
-
Common Word: "is"
-
Result: "me" = "is"
2. Compare Sentence 1 and Sentence 3:
-
Common Code: "do"
-
Common Word: "he"
-
Result: "do" = "he"
3. Identify the remaining word in Sentence 1:
-
Sentence 1: "do re me" → "he is late"
-
We know: "do" = "he" and "me" = "is"
-
The only code left is "re" and the only word left is "late".
