Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Neither sentence I nor sentence II is correct.

Only sentence-I is correct ❌ 2. Only sentence-II is correct ❌ 3. Both sentences I and II are correct ❌ 4. Neither sentence I nor sentence II is correct ✅ – both have wrong spellings. Correct Sentence/Example Sentence: I am indebted to my friend’s wise counsel. Some members of the council walked out of the meeting.
