Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the question below.

In a certain code language:
“bright avenue fresh zone” is coded as “km ql rt vx”
“grand open avenue novel” is coded as “np vx ts yg”
“open zone ribbon joyful” is coded as “rt hn yg wz”
“global fresh ribbon secret” is coded as “hn ef km ub”

What is the code for the word “zone” in the given code language?

The correct answer is rt.

To find the code for the word “zone”, we analyze the common words and their corresponding codes across the given statements:

1. “bright avenue fresh zone” is coded as “km ql rt vx”
2. “grand open avenue novel” is coded as “np vx ts yg”
3. “open zone ribbon joyful” is coded as “rt hn yg wz”
4. “global fresh ribbon secret” is coded as “hn ef km ub”

Now, compare Statement 1 and Statement 3:
- Common word in Statement 1 and Statement 3: “zone”
- Codes in Statement 1: km, ql, rt, vx
- Codes in Statement 3: rt, hn, yg, wz
- Common code in Statement 1 and Statement 3: “rt”

Since “zone” is the only common word between Statement 1 and Statement 3, its corresponding code must be the only common code, which is “rt”.
