As for this problem, I believe that the first sentence, or probably believed to be as a clue in answering the problem, would be a misleading part and is actually quite tricky. The word commit usually pertains to two things and that is to do it or to be held responsible. What was just stated in the previous statement may not be the most accurate representation or definition of the word commit, but basically the idea of how it is usually used and what it represents in a sentence is there. So in the given sentence, the word committing would most probably mean holding.
Its false because the spelling must be correct because etymology is the study of the origin of words and the way of which they have changed over time even spelling
