Apply the established substitution from “ELEPHANT” → “57589143”: What is the code for “LEAP”?

Introduction / Context:
We are given a completed encoding for a longer word and asked to code a subword using the same one-to-one letter→digit mapping. This is a straightforward application once we extract the mapping from the exemplar.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• “ELEPHANT” → “57589143”.
• Target: “LEAP”.
• Mapping is consistent and letter-specific (no position-based trick).

Concept / Approach:
Read off the mapping from the long word by aligning letters and digits in order. Then substitute for the letters in the shorter target word.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Recheck that every letter in LEAP appears in ELEPHANT’s mapping (they do). No ambiguity remains.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• 5618 / 6712 / 6518: Each changes a mapped digit (e.g., L must be 7), contradicting the established mapping.
• None of these: Not correct because 7518 is fully supported by the mapping.

Common Pitfalls:
Misaligning letters with digits when extracting the map; mistakenly assuming position-based coding instead of substitution.

Final Answer:
7518
