1. Which of the following sentences does NOT employ correct word usage?

a. We had to travel several miles further into the Arkansas Ozarks to locate the Buffalo River.
b. Because this river is only 130 miles long, many people are surprised that it has been designated the first national river in the U.S.
c. Southerners whoa re enthusiastic about outdoor recreation aren't surprised by the recognition because they have known about the Buffalo River for many years.
d. Fewer boats traveled down this white water before its designation as a national river.

I think it's D?

We can't always depend upon what sounds "right."

One of the sentences has misused a word.
