    D trimuttiagnus Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From the words the code for ‘spider’ is ‘agnos’, but the codes for ‘black’ and ‘widow’ are not given. The codes for ‘black’ and ‘widow’ should be different from those given in the statements. The possible code for ‘black widow spider’ is “agnos vitri blunin”.
