Correct option is A
Given:
We have the following translations from an artificial language:
- lupotree = "tall tree."
- lopagreen = "bright green."
- lupogreen = "tall green."
We need to determine which word could mean "tall bright."
Formula Used:
Break down each word to identify the meanings of its components:
- lupo appears in lupotree ("tall tree") and lupogreen ("tall green"). Thus, lupo likely refers to "tall."
- lopa appears in lopagreen ("bright green"). Thus, lopa likely refers to "bright."
- Other components, such as tree or green, are irrelevant to this question.
To mean "tall bright," the word must include:
- lupo for "tall."
- lopa for "bright."
Solution:
Examine the options:
lupolopa:
- Contains lupo ("tall") and lopa ("bright").
- This matches "tall bright."
lopalupo:
- Contains lopa ("bright") and lupo ("tall").
- This could also mean "bright tall,"
- This does not match.
lupobright:
- Contains lupo ("tall") but introduces bright, which is not a component in the given translations.
- This does not match.
lopabright:
- Contains lopa ("bright") but does not include lupo ("tall").
- This does not match.
