Q9

If we're told that K and L speak the same language, couldn't we assign K to Z and figure out the answer that way? I thought that would work but resulted in the incorrect answer A. Why can we only put K in X to find the answer? If K is with L, and they each speak exactly one language, either S or R, that seems to make it work that they both speak the same language.

If K and L speak the same language, then either K is assigned to Z with L or K is assigned to X and both X and Z speak Spanish. Either way, at least one of M or N speak French.
