- I The scientists will assist the experiment to test the hypothesis. (II
- I I need to assist the accuracy of the report before submitting it to my boss.
Solution
Sentence I uses "assist" incorrectly. It should use "conduct" or "lead" instead of "assist," as "assist" means to help, not to manage a series of interviews. Sentence II uses "assist" incorrectly as well. The correct verb should be "conduct" or "perform" because "assist" means to help, not to carry out the experiment. Sentence III uses "assist" incorrectly. It should be "verify," as "assist" means to help, not to confirm or check accuracy.
