Correct answer
Either vi or si
Why this answer is correct
Given statement:
'for the victory sign' is coded as 'si vi th fo',
‘empty the apartment now’ is coded as ‘no ap th em’
‘now for the finale’ is coded as ‘fi th fo no’
‘for empty sign victory’ is coded as ‘vi si em fo’
We get:
for - fo
the - th
empty - em
now – no
The codes for ‘apartment’ and ‘finale’ is determined by elimination, i.e. all the other codes in the sentence are determined:
apartment - ap
finale – fi
We can not clearly determine the codes for ‘victory’ and ‘sign’:
victory – vi/si
sign – si/vi
The code for 'Victory' is either vi or si.
