Explanation:

To solve the proofreading for these sentences:

Sentence [1]

Step 1: Identify the error

The word "anywheres" is non - standard. The correct form of the adverb meaning "in any place" is "anywhere".

Step 2: Correct the error

Replace "anywheres" with "anywhere".

Sentence [2]

Step 1: Identify the error

The verb "twirl" is in the wrong form for the subject "turners" (plural) in terms of tense consistency? Wait, no, "twirl" here - actually, "twirl" is a base form, but let's check again. Wait, the sentence structure: "turners twirl two ropes alternately in opposite..." Wait, maybe a typo? Wait, no, the sentence as is - wait, maybe "twirl" is correct? Wait, no, maybe I misread. Wait, the sentence: "In Double Dutch, turners twirl two ropes alternately in opposite..." Wait, maybe the error is not here? Wait, no, let's re - examine. Wait, the original sentence: "In Double Dutch, turners twirl two ropes alternately in opposite..." Wait, maybe it's correct? Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the example has "alot" → "a lot". For sentence [2], maybe there is no error? Wait, no, let's check again. Wait, the problem says "most of the sentences" have an error. So sentence [1] has "anywheres" → "anywhere". Sentence [2]: let's check the verb. "Turners" (plural) + "twirl" (plural verb) is correct. So sentence [2] is correct? Wait, maybe.

Answer:

s:

1. Error: "anywheres" → Correct: "anywhere"
2. The sentence is correct (write "C").
