Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Cot
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:This is a word-code mapping puzzle. Common objects are renamed. You must answer using the new code names while preserving the original real-world action: a person normally sits on a chair.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:Translate the target object (the real “chair”) into its new coded label using the mapping. The question is not asking “What is a chair called in reality?” but rather “Under the new naming system, which word corresponds to the real object where one sits?”
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Identify the real object: CHAIR (the thing we sit on). 2) Apply the code mapping: “chair is called cot.” 3) Therefore, under the code, one would say they sit on a “cot.”Verification / Alternative check:Double-check the mapping order to ensure we converted the target (real chair) and not any other object.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:“Chair” is the old (real) label; the coded label for that object is “cot.” “Pot” and “filter” are labels for other remapped objects; “stool” never appears in the mapping.
Common Pitfalls:Mistaking the first mapping (table → chair) to mean we should sit on “chair.” The target is the real chair, not table.
Final Answer:Cot
