Correct Answer: l dry the same


Solution : The segment that contains a grammatical error is the third option.

The original sentence is a bit awkwardly structured. A clear and more concise way to use the pronoun "them" as the object of the verb "dry". Thus, the phrase "I dry the same" should be replaced with "I dry them".

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "You wash the dishes, and I dry them ."
