I. MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE (Rx1). Indicate whether the statement is true or false. If false,
change the identified word or phrase to make the statement true. If the statement is true, write
"LOVE". If the statement is false, write "MATH" and make it correct by changing the underlined
word(s) and writing the correct word(s) in the answer blank(s).
