Answer
Correct Answer: agnosvitriblunin
Explanation
Given data
- agnoscrenia = poisonous spider ⇒ agnos = spider, crenia = poisonous.
- delanocrenia = poisonous snake ⇒ delano = snake, crenia = poisonous.
- agnosdeery = brown spider ⇒ deery = brown.
- Formation pattern: noun + adjective (e.g., spider+poisonous, spider+brown).
Concept/Approach (why this method)
Identify the consistent morphemes and preserve the observed ordering (noun followed by modifier). Unknown adjectives for 'black widow' must therefore follow the noun for spider.
Step-by-Step reasoning1) The noun for spider is agnos.2) Options that respect noun+adjective order and contain agnos at the start are candidates.3) agnosvitriblunin fits the structure (spider + [descriptor]);4) trymuttiagnos reverses the order (adjective + spider) and so conflicts with the pattern.5) agnosdelano mixes spider and snake, which is semantically wrong; others do not fit known morphemes.
Verification/Alternative
Cross-check with given compounds: all use agnos first for spider, then color/quality. The selected option follows this exactly.
Common pitfalls
- Ignoring consistent word order in the artificial language.
- Choosing parts that encode a different animal (e.g., snake = delano).
