• E. Both I and II are sufficient

Answer 1

The correct option is D Neither I nor II is sufficient

From the two statements given in I, the code for the only common word 'beautiful' can be determined.
From the two statements given in II, the code for the only common word 'red' can be determined.
In I and II, the common words are 'rose and 'flower' and the common code words are 'de' and 'la'. So, the code for 'flower' is either 'de' or 'la'.
