Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the question given below.

In a secret cipher system:
“bright glow of dawn” is represented by “vx bk lm tr”
“glow color bright dusk” is represented by “tr vx qz ny”
“dusk of color shade” is represented by “bk fx qz ny”
“dawn glow of shade” is represented by “lm tr bk fx”

What is the cipher code for the word phrase “of dawn”?

The correct option is bk lm.

To find the cipher code for the word phrase “of dawn”, we analyze the given statements by comparing common words and their corresponding codes step-by-step:

1. “bright glow of dawn” is represented by “vx bk lm tr”
2. “glow color bright dusk” is represented by “tr vx qz ny”
3. “dusk of color shade” is represented by “bk fx qz ny”
4. “dawn glow of shade” is represented by “lm tr bk fx”

Step 1: Find the code for “of”
Comparing Statement 1 (“bright glow of dawn”) and Statement 3 (“dusk of color shade”):
• The only common word is “of”.
• The only common code between “vx bk lm tr” and “bk fx qz ny” is “bk”.
Thus, the code for “of” is “bk”.

Step 2: Find the code for “dawn”
Comparing Statement 1 (“bright glow of dawn”) and Statement 4 (“dawn glow of shade”):
• The common words are “glow”, “of”, and “dawn”.
• Looking at Statement 1 (“bright glow of dawn” = “vx bk lm tr”):
- We know from comparing Statement 1 and Statement 2 that “bright” and “glow” correspond to “vx” and “tr”.
- We know from Step 1 that “of” corresponds to “bk”.
- The only remaining word in Statement 1 is “dawn”, and the remaining code is “lm”.
Thus, the code for “dawn” is “lm”.

Conclusion:
The cipher code for the phrase “of dawn” is “bk lm”.
