In a certain coded language, 'tao la eto' means 'truth is eternal', 'mitao la nota eto' means 'enmity is not eternal', and 'tao duo nota pisho' means 'truth does not perish'. Which of the following means 'enmity' in that language?

AEto

BPisho

CTao

DMitao ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) Mitao

Explanation

The code mitao stands for enmity in this language.

The first phrase gives tao, la, eto for truth, is, eternal.

The second phrase, meaning enmity is not eternal, shares la for is and eto for eternal.

Its remaining words are mitao and nota, matching enmity and not.

The third phrase fixes nota as not, so mitao must be enmity.
