Directions to Solve

11.
Here are some words translated from an artificial language.
dionot means oak tree
blyonot means oak leaf
blycrin means maple leaf
Which word could mean "maple syrup"?
dionot means oak tree
blyonot means oak leaf
blycrin means maple leaf
Which word could mean "maple syrup"?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
In this language, the adjective follows the noun. From dionot and blyonot, you can determine that 'onot' means oak. From blyonot and blycrin, you can determine that bly means leaf. Therefore, crin means maple. Because the adjective maple comes after the noun, patricrin is the only possible choice.

How we can determine adjective and noun in this type of artificial language? I agree to your point @Anu.
Forget the adjective and noun. I think its reverse word formation.
Dionot means oak tree.
Onot is oak and its written after dio.
Blyonot means oak leaf.
Onot is oak and its written after bly.
Blycrin means maple leaf.
Bly is leaf, written before crin which is maple.
So, if we consider the reverse arrangement of words and its meaning, then patricrin is the right answer.

Syrup is not know and matchless in the question asked of the words. How can it be the final answer?

In the above option both C and D is having the word crin. So we can choose even D also as answer, because we don't know the word for syrup.
