CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

'science' is in the first two sentences: 'tas'.
'students' is in the first and fourth sentences, and the only code they share is 'ruk'.
The first sentence 'ruk pim tas' then leaves 'pim' for 'love'.

Worth noting

'yen' belongs to 'makes' or 'happy', which cannot be separated. Use only the sentences you need.
