Based on historical context regarding plebeians in ancient Rome, here are the correct responses:

1. **Approve or veto laws** - Plebeians had the power to approve or veto laws, especially through the Tribal Assembly, where they could vote on legislation.

2. **Couldn't propose new laws** - Initially, plebeians could not propose new laws; this ability was typically reserved for the patricians until later reforms.

3. **Part of the Assembly of Centuries and Assembly of Tribes** - Plebeians were part of the Assembly of Tribes, which was crucial for their political representation, but they were not typically part of the Assembly of Centuries, which was more patrician-dominated.

4. **Made up of soldiers** - Plebeians could be soldiers, as many plebeians were part of the Roman military.

So, the applicable responses are:
- Couldn't propose new laws
- Part of the Assembly of Tribes
- Made up of soldiers

The first and the third (approve or veto laws, and part of the Assembly of Centuries) would depend on the specific context being referenced; they had some say through their assemblies but were not part of the Assembly of Centuries.
