Answer 1

Answer:

Option C, The professional software package included Web 2.0 applications, but it cost more than $1,200.

Explanation:

If we look at the other two options, the numbering style have been used incorrectly. The numbers in the first option should have been written in numerals as there is a point decimal mentioned in the sentence.

Correct format: Mr. Yu predicted that 55.6 percent of his customers would return for follow-up services.

In the second option, the number should have been written is words as it denotes a single digit number. When there is a single digit number, it is normally written in words.

Correct format: My salary increased three percent last year.
