CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
'good' and 'friends' are in both sentences, and so are 'sa' and 'pin'.
The second sentence is left with 'night' and 'ro'.
So 'night' is 'ro'.
Worth noting
'lo' is the leftover code of the first sentence, which is 'morning'. The code for 'good' cannot be told apart from 'friends'.
