Question 1 • * SY2025-26 - 1001010-M/J Language Arts 1 Sem 1 CR

Which sentence uses a commonly misspelled word correctly?

Answer
A
Both crews did well in the rowing competition.
B
Knowing its importance, he cent the letter right away.
C
We had been running for so long that I eventually needed a brake.
D
The farm employee counted how many cows were in the heard.

Explanation

“Both crews did well in the rowing competition” uses “crews” correctly to mean groups of rowers. In B, “cent” should be “sent”; in C, a runner needs a “break,” not a vehicle “brake”; and in D, a group of cows is a “herd,” not a “heard.”
