Understanding the Code Pattern
To decode how "PROSE" becomes "PPOQE," we should analyze the transformation of each letter:
- P remains P (1st letter)
- R becomes P (2nd letter)
- O becomes Q (3rd letter)
- S remains E (4th letter)
- E is removed (5th letter)
From this, we can deduce a pattern:
- The 1st letter stays the same.
- The 2nd letter shifts from R to P (a backward shift of 2).
- The 3rd letter shifts from O to Q (a forward shift of 2).
- The 4th letter changes from S to E (a backward shift of 14).
- The 5th letter is omitted.
Applying the Pattern to "LIGHT"
Now, we will apply this identified pattern to the word "LIGHT":
- L (1st letter) remains L.
- I (2nd letter) shifts to G (a backward shift of 2).
- G (3rd letter) shifts to G (no change).
- H (4th letter) shifts to F (a backward shift of 2).
- T (5th letter) is omitted.
Final Encoding of "LIGHT"
Following the established code pattern, "LIGHT" becomes:
- L (1st letter)
- G (2nd letter)
- G (3rd letter)
- F (4th letter)
Thus, the final coded word is LGGFT.
Conclusion
The correct answer is indeed option D: LGGFT. This matches our decoded result.
