Answer
Correct Answer: ^ + & * δ
Explanation
Introduction / Context:We are to encode an English word using a fixed one-to-one symbol mapping for each letter. No positional tricks apply; it is a straight substitution per character.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Map: F→^, I→+, G→&, H→*, T→δ (among the full table provided).
- Target word: FIGHT.
Concept / Approach:Encode each letter of FIGHT using the exact symbol assigned in the table, then preserve the order.
Step-by-Step Solution:
F → ^I → +G → &H → *T → δThus “FIGHT” encodes to “^ + & * δ”.Verification / Alternative check:Confirm each mapping exists and is unique. Cross-check alternatives that swap positions; they violate the one-to-one mapping for the ordered word.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
- Other sequences permute the middle symbols or move δ out of the terminal position, contradicting the letter order in “FIGHT”.
- None of these: Incorrect because a perfect match exists.
Common Pitfalls:Confusing similar-looking symbols or mis-ordering the sequence when copying.
Final Answer:^ + & * δ
