I disagree.
The better answer is 3 -- modeling the correct verb form.
ok thank you
1. "Jimmy, say that again, but instead of saying 'eated it all up', say 'I ate it all up'."
The correct way to say it is: "Jimmy, say that again, but instead of saying 'eated it all up', say 'I ate it all up'."
To determine the correct response from Mrs. Newman, let's analyze the given options:
1. "Jimmy, say that again, but instead of saying 'eated it all up,' say 'I ate it all up.'"
This option is demonstrating correction by instructing Jimmy to rephrase his statement using correct grammar. This is the appropriate response because it guides Jimmy towards using the right verb tense ("ate" instead of "eated") and ensures proper expression.
2. "You eated it all up? Then what happened?"
This option uses incorrect grammar ("eated" instead of "ate"). It also doesn't address the need for correction, but rather continues the conversation based on the incorrect statement. Therefore, it is not the correct response.
3. "What did you eat up?"
This option focuses on asking Jimmy about what he ate rather than addressing the grammatical error. While it could be a valid question, it doesn't provide the needed correction for Jimmy's statement, so it is not the correct response in this context.
4. "That isn't the right way to say that. Try again."
This option directly states that Jimmy's statement is incorrect without providing guidance or suggesting an alternative. While it indicates the need for correction, it does not give any instruction, so it may not be the most helpful response.
Based on this analysis, option 1, "Jimmy, say that again, but instead of saying 'eated it all up,' say 'I ate it all up,'" is the correct response from Mrs. Newman as it both corrects Jimmy's grammar and guides him on the proper way to express himself.
