Answer 1

Answer:

C.

escape, sarcastic, epithet, for, less, corruptible, sin, valley, offspring, open, any, primary, loyalty, table, gall, whom, example, who, mention, say

Step-by-step explanation:

Theoretical probability of a word starting with T is 1/26 because there are 26 alphabets

1/26 × 20 = 0.7692307692

There should be none or only one word starting with T.

In option C, there's only one word starting with T (table) so that's the answer
