Final answer:

It is false that the owner holds multiple contracts in both forms of the CM format as the construction manager can hold these in one form. Additionally, it is false that proprietors in a proprietary colony only had the responsibility to collect profits; they also had administrative and governance responsibilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

In both forms of the Construction Management (CM) format, it is false that the owner holds multiple contracts. The CM format is typically divided into two forms; one where the construction manager acts as an adviser (CM as agent) and another where the construction manager is the constructor (CM at risk).

In the CM as an agent format, the owner holds separate contracts with each subcontractor, but in the CM at risk format, the construction manager holds the contracts with the subcontractors, not the owner.

In the context of a proprietary colony, it is false that the Proprietors have no responsibilities except to collect profits. Proprietors had various responsibilities, such as appointing governors, creating laws in agreement with the colonists, and defending the colony. They did indeed seek to make profits, but they also played an administrative and governing role in the colony's operation.
