C26. Ideally , VP doesn't change when son takes over joint.

My way of cracking it is:

• VP = Verb Phrase
• Phrase in mention = “when son takes over joint”
• Verb Phrase = takes over
• So when the VP doesn’t change but the other words are changed, we get:-
• When = is
• Son = lad
• Joint = bar
• Takes over = anagram indicator
• So islad = salad
• Answer = Salad Bar

Jaymen says:
Your interpretation is close but not tight enough.
"ideally" is left out of your explanation.
Also "takes over" is a replacement indicator rather than an anagram indicator.
