Which statements are true? Select the two correct answers.

For a positive number greater than 1, its square root is smaller than the number; for example, √9 = 3, and 3 < 9. For a positive number less than 1, its square root is also less than 1, so statement E is true. Statement C reverses the comparison: for example, √0.25 = 0.5, which is greater than 0.25.
