Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) gv gb kv

Explanation

Words that appear in two sentences share a code: they = lb, cricket = kb, score = mb, points = kv, earned = gv, together = mv. From the second sentence (they score maximum points = gb lb mb kv), maximum = gb. So “earned maximum points” is gv gb kv.
