• A. 8
• B. 6
• C. 7
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is C 7

In the first and second statements, the common code digit is '8' and the common word is 'hard'. So, '8' means 'hard'.

In the first and third statements, the common code digit is '6' and the common word is 'study'. So, '6' means 'study'.
Thus, in the first statement '7' means 'very'.
Hence, option (C) is the correct answer.
