      B Both (I) and (II) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Only (III) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Only (II) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E All (I), (II), and (III) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      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.
