Answer 1

The sentence that uses the underlined academic vocabulary word incorrectly is B. The word 'deducing' is used incorrectly in this sentence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence that uses the underlined academic vocabulary word incorrectly is B. In this sentence, the word 'deducing' is used incorrectly. 'Deducing' means to draw a conclusion or inference based on evidence or reasoning. However, in this sentence, the word 'deducing' is used in the context of 'deducing time from television', which doesn't make sense. A better word to use in this context would be 'subtracting'.
