Answer
Correct Answer: GARDEN
Explanation
Introduction / Context:This is another direct letter code inversion. Translate each provided symbol to its corresponding letter and match to the correct option.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- A→@, B→#, C→$, D→%, E→^, G→&, N→*, R→+, L→=, M→α.
- Symbols: & @ + % ^ *.
Concept / Approach:Use the inverse map symbol→letter and read left-to-right.
Step-by-Step Solution:
& → G@ → A+ → R% → D^ → E* → NWord: GARDENVerification / Alternative check:Re-encode GARDEN from the original table to reproduce & @ + % ^ *.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- GARAGE, GARGLE, GAMBLE: Their 4th/5th/6th letters contradict %→D, ^→E, *→N respectively.
Common Pitfalls:Mixing + (R) with @ (A) due to visual similarity of symbols.
