If it is possible to make a meaningful word with the second, the fifth and the eighth letters of the word ‘CARETAKER’, which of the following will be the first letter of that word? If no such word can be made, give X as answer. If more than one such word can be made, give M as the answer.
Show Hint
When asked about forming meaningful words from specific letters, check if more than one valid word can be formed. If so, answer with M.
The letters in "CARETAKER" at positions 2, 5, and 8 are A, T, and E.
Using these letters, we can form the following words:
- "ATE" (meaning "to consume").
- "EAT" (meaning "to consume food").
Therefore, the first letter of the word is M because multiple words can be made.
\(⇒\) \boxed{\text{Answer: M}}
