I would say the answer would be C but the actual meaning of the word "punctilious " means showing great attention to detail or correct behavior . Matthew may have be trying to spell it correctly or just came up short . So therefore it would be A .

Me and my friends were going to do a science experiment. Jonny’s job was to make the HYPOTHESIS. He said the “ If we mix baking soda and vinegar together, the TEMPERATURE will go down.”
So then Molly mixed the baking soda and vinegar together and checked the TEMPERATURE. We all OBSERVED as the thermometer’s TEMPERATURE went down. “ your THEORY/ HYPOTHESIS was correct!” Exclaimed Molly.
Then the whole science GROUP let out with a cheer! And wrote the information down on their EXPERIMENTAL info chart. They took a microscope and looked at the mixture because they wanted to the the little PARTICLES in the mixture. Lily CONTROLED the microscope she zoomed in and out to see the particles.
And that’s 8!
Hope this helps
