Constructed-language mapping: given migenlasan = cupboard, lasanpoen = boardwalk, cuopdansa = pullman, determine which option encodes 'walkway' by isolating the morpheme for 'walk'

Choose an option
  • A
    poenmigen
  • B
    cuopeisel
  • C
    lasandansa
  • D
    poenforc
  • E
    migenpoen

Answer

Correct Answer: poenforc

Explanation

Given data

  • migenlasan = cupboard.
  • lasanpoen = boardwalk.
  • cuopdansa = pullman.
  • Goal: 'walkway'.

Concept/Approach (why this method)

Find common segments: lasan appears in cupboard and boardwalk, naturally mapping to 'board'. Then infer the remaining part in boardwalk (poen) as 'walk'. Combine 'walk' with a plausible morpheme for 'way'.

Step-by-Step decoding1) From lasanpoen (boardwalk), map lasan = board.2) Therefore, poen = walk.3) A reasonable encoding for 'way' in options is forc (unused elsewhere and placed as a head or suffix).4) Compose 'walkway' as poen + forcpoenforc.

Verification/Alternative

Check patterns: Compounds are formed by direct concatenation. poenmigen would mean walk+cup, not 'walkway'; lasandansa mixes board with an unrelated morpheme.

Common pitfalls

  • Assuming 'lasan' means walk (it appears in cupboard, contradicting that).
