Here are some words translated from an artificial language:
larnvilop means “fruit basket”
vilopzen means “basket holder”
cartamok means “apple pie”
Which word could mean “apple basket”?
larnvilop means “fruit basket”
vilopzen means “basket holder”
cartamok means “apple pie”
Which word could mean “apple basket”?
- larnzen
- cartavilop
- cartavilarn
- viloplarn
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - cartavilop
'vilop' is common to 'fruit basket' (larnvilop) and 'basket holder' (vilopzen), so vilop = basket, with the modifier placed first (larn = fruit, zen = holder). In 'cartamok' = 'apple pie', the modifier 'carta' therefore means 'apple' (and mok = pie). Combining modifier + noun gives 'apple basket' = carta + vilop = cartavilop.
