Question 12/20: Set 5 - Try Out - General Reasoning (SNBT)

:00

Number 12

Consider the following hypothetical language:

beeppz! : cobra, a cobra.
!meeongw : kitten.
beeppzpz! : many cobras.
yum ybeeppz! ong!meeongw : kitten eats cobra.

Based on the data above, how would you say 'many cobras eat kittens' using this language?

ong ybeeppz! yum!meeongw

yum ybeeppzpz! ong!meeongw

yum !meeongw ongybeeppz!

yum y!meeongw ongbeeppzpz!

ong beeppz! yum y!meeongw

Explanation

Let's break down this artificial language by examining its vocabulary and sentence structure. From the given information, we can identify the basic vocabulary: beeppz! means cobra, !meeongw is kitten, and beeppzpz! (with the extra -pz suffix) signifies many cobras.

Next, let's analyze the sentence yum ybeeppz! ong!meeongw which means kitten eats cobra. Notice that the verb yum (eats) comes at the beginning. The subject is kitten (!meeongw) marked with the prefix ong-, while the object is cobra (beeppz!) marked with the prefix y-.

Thus, the sentence pattern in this language can be formulated as follows:

\text{yum} + y\text{-[Object]} + ong\text{-[Subject]}

We are asked to translate many cobras eat kittens. Here, the subject is many cobras (beeppzpz!) and the object is kitten (!meeongw). Let's construct the sentence following the pattern above:

Verb: yum
Object (kitten) with y- prefix: y!meeongw
Subject (many cobras) with ong- prefix: ongbeeppzpz!

So, the complete translation is yum y!meeongw ongbeeppzpz!.
