What statement is true about paragraph C? (5 points)

A). There is an error in sentence number 1.

Explanation:

As per the question, the first statement i.e. 'there is an error in sentence number 1' asserts a true claim regarding the paragraph C. It contains an error in the spelling of verb 'studyed' which is grammatically incorrect. Syntactically, if a regular verb ends with a constant prior to '-y', 'y' is removed and replaced by the suffix '-ied' for the past as well as past participle use. Thus, the correct version would be 'studied' rather than 'studyed' and hence, option A is the correct answer.

There is an error in sentence 1 (A)

Explanation:

Gus and Frieda studyed the situation then got an idea!

The correct spelling is "studied" (ied > yed) not "studyed."
