The word GPVC is decoded as:
fern
born
moan
burn
We are given an encrypted sentence: SJ HVJ HMM GPVC BHI. LPBJ VJBHEC LP.– LHBZJMGJFAJXX
We need to decode based on the clues: Clues:
1. H → A
2. B → E
3. C → N
4. L → S
5. I → D
We focus on the word: GPVC
We’ll decode it letter by letter using the clues and pattern matching. GPVC
- G → ? (not in clue, guess from options) - P → ? - V → ? - C → N (Clue 3) We know the last letter is N. Let’s compare this with the answer options: (1) fern (2) born (3) moan (4) burn All end in "n" – consistent so far. Let’s check if any full word matches using reverse substitution. Try (4) burn: - b → E (clue 2) → should map to B - u → ? - r → ? - n → C (from clue 3, since C = N ⇒ N = C) So burn → B??C We are trying to match to GPVC → so not likely. Try (2) born: - b → E (→ B) - o → ? - r → ? - n → C (→ C) Again doesn’t give us GPVC Try (1) fern: - f → ? - e → B (E = B) ⇒ B = E - r → ? - n → C Again does not start with G Try (3) moan: - m → ? - o → ? - a → H (since H = A) ⇒ A = H - n → C (as before) So moan → ???C Matches GPVC structure if: - G → M - P → O - V → A - C → N Which is consistent with clue 1: H = A → so A = H, and V = A here So possible! Therefore, GPVC = moan
Answer: (3) moan
pie
lie
die
are
To decode the word "HVJ" using the provided clues, we need to replace each letter in "HVJ" with its corresponding letter based on the clues. Let's go through the clues and apply them step by step.
H stands for A
B stands for E
C stands for N
L stands for S
I stands for D
H → A (from Clue-1)
V remains V (no clue provided for V)
J remains J (no clue provided for J)
So, the partially decoded word is "AVJ".
Given the options for the word "HVJ":
pie
lie
die
are
We need to find the closest match. Let's compare the partially decoded word "AVJ" with the options:
"pie" → doesn't match
"lie" → doesn't match
"die" → doesn't match
"are" → doesn't match directly, but let's consider the structure.
Since none of the options directly match "AVJ", we need to consider if there might be a typo or if the options are not directly related to the decoded word. However, based on the structure and the given options, the closest match in terms of structure and common English words is "are".
The word "HVJ" is decoded as:
are
We are given: HVJ
Use the provided clues:
1. H → A
2. V →?
3. J →?
We want to match this to one of the given options: (1) pie (2) lie (3) die (4) are
Try option (4): are - a → H (Clue 1 confirms H = A ✅) - r → ? - e → B (since B = E, Clue 2 ⇒ E = B ✅?) But J should be E then? That would imply J = E. Not confirmed. Try option (3): die - d → I (Clue 5: I = D ✅) - i → ? - e → B (Clue 2 ✅) So reverse mapping:
- D → I - I → ? - E → B → So "DIE" becomes: I ? B → matches H V J only if:
- H = D ✖ (But H = A) So Not matching Try option (2): lie - l → ? - i → ? - e → B → Not enough data Try option (1): pie - p → ? - i → ? - e → B Still, only one match. But from previous clue: - H → A (1st letter of HVJ = A) → So HVJ starts with A Now only option (4): are starts with A ✅ Let’s decode "are": - A → H - R → V - E → J → So if A R E = H V J → it matches perfectly. Therefore, HVJ = are
Answer: (4) are
We need to decode the encrypted word HVJ using the provided clues.
Given Clues:
Decoding HVJ:
Applying the known clue, the word HVJ decodes to A V J (where V and J are the decoded letters for V and J respectively).
Now, let's compare this pattern (starting with 'A') with the given options:
Since only option (4) starts with the letter 'A', which corresponds to the encrypted letter 'H', this is the most likely decoding.
If HVJ decodes to 'are', it implies the following mappings:
Therefore, the decoded word for HVJ is are.
The correct option is:
(4) are
some
sore
sole
site
To decode the word "LPBJ" using the provided clues, we need to replace each letter in "LPBJ" with its corresponding letter based on the clues. Let's go through the clues and apply them step by step.
H stands for A
B stands for E
C stands for N
L stands for S
I stands for D
L → S (from Clue-4)
P remains P (no clue provided for P)
B → E (from Clue-2)
J remains J (no clue provided for J)
So, the partially decoded word is "SPEJ".
Given the options for the word "LPBJ":
some
sore
sole
site
We need to find the closest match. Let's compare the partially decoded word "SPEJ" with the options:
"some" → doesn't match
"sore" → doesn't match
"sole" → doesn't match
"site" → doesn't match directly, but let's consider the structure.
Since none of the options directly match "SPEJ", we need to consider if there might be a typo or if the options are not directly related to the decoded word. However, based on the structure and the given options, the closest match in terms of structure and common English words is "some".
The word "LPBJ" is decoded as:
some
We need to decode the encrypted word LPBJ using the provided clues and mappings derived from previous questions (assuming consistency).
Given Clues:
Mappings from previous questions (assuming they are correct):
Decoding LPBJ letter by letter:
Assembling the decoded letters, LPBJ decodes to S O E E.
Now, let's compare this decoded word "SOEE" with the given options:
None of the options exactly match "SOEE". However, option (1) "some" (S O M E) is the closest, matching the first three letters (S O E) based on our derived mappings. The difference is in the last letter (E vs M).
Given that this is part of a series and assuming the previous decodings were intended, there might be a slight inconsistency in the puzzle's construction or the options provided. If forced to choose the best fit based on the maximum number of matching letters derived from consistent mappings, "some" is the most plausible option, differing only in the mapping for 'J'.
However, if we strictly adhere to the derived J->E mapping, none of the options are correct. Let's assume for the purpose of selecting an answer that "some" is the intended word, implying J->M for this specific instance, or that the J->E inference was incorrect/context-dependent.
Based on the closest match using inferred mappings for L, P, and B:
(1) some
