• B. agnosdelano

• D. trymuttiagnos
• E. deerydelano

Hint:

In artificial language questions, identify the "root" (the word that repeats) first to eliminate options that don't include the necessary subject.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Break down the known words into their component parts to identify which artificial word maps to which English word.
Step 2: Identifying the Vector of Change:
- agnoscreenia / delanocrenia: "crenia" (or "screenia") likely means poisonous. - agnoscreenia / agnosdeery: "agnos" means spider. - agnosdeery: "deery" means brown. - delanocrenia: "delano" means snake.
Step 3: Calculation:
We need the word for "black widow spider." We know "spider" is agnos. - Option (a) contains "deery" (brown). Incorrect. - Option (b) contains "delano" (snake). Incorrect. - Option (e) contains "deery" and "delano." Incorrect. Options (c) and (d) both contain "agnos." In many artificial languages, the modifier comes before or after. However, since "agnos" was the prefix in the examples, a word containing "agnos" plus new components (for black/widow) is the target.
Step 4: Final Answer:
"agnos" must be present. Looking at standard patterns for these tests, (c) or (d) are candidates, but "agnos" as a prefix matches the provided examples best.
