Answer 1

The character of Frankenstein did not originate in Hollywood. The correct verb form in the sentence is 'did not originate'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is A. NO CHANGE. The verb in the sentence should be in the past tense to match the tense of the sentence. The original phrase 'did not originate' correctly conveys that the character of Frankenstein did not originate in Hollywood. The other options ('did not originates', 'do not originate', 'do not originating') are incorrect because they do not match the past tense of the sentence.
