C.
She points out to Tammy where the grammar is incorrect and shows her how she can improve her grammar.
D.
She uses Tammy’s paper to help improve her own paper

Answer 1

C.

A would be incorrect because she is telling everyone about Tammy’s mistakes, which could be embarrassing or make it a bigger deal than it needs to be. B is incorrect because then she really isn’t helping Tammy. D is definitely incorrect because if the grammar is incorrect in Tammy’s paper there is no reason for Jenna to use it for her own.
