In a certain code language, 'they were not playing' is written as 'su to al zi', 'they are singing tomorrow' is written as 'to ej di mo', 'are you playing' is written as 'su mo pa' and 'you were sleeping' is written as 'pa zi qu'. (All codes are two-letter codes only.) In the given code language, what does the code 'qu' stand for?

1. Placeholder for missing option
2. sleeping
3. Placeholder for missing option
4. Placeholder for missing option

Solution

The word 'you' appears in two sentences and matches the common code 'pa'. The word 'were' appears in two sentences and matches 'zi'. In the last sentence, the remaining unmatched word is 'sleeping', so 'qu' stands for sleeping.
