The sentence contains a typo. Yiur welcome.

The answer is option C (the sentence contains a typo).

Explanation:

The typo in the sentence provided is "it it" instead of "it is".

Typo is the shortened of typographical error which is not other than a spelling mistake or a misprint.

In the printing press, typos produce a negative impact, especially if they are placed in the title of a publication. In general, when readers come across typos, they tend to think that editors did not dedicate enough time proofreading the text before publishing.

The more typos a text have, the less reliable it becomes.

the pronoun reference replaces a noun, but you have to make sure there's no room for confusion.

in the first sentence "her" could be referring to shely or to the sister. the answer there is "shelly called her sister and told her about the new baby."

in the second sentence "it" could be referring to the roof or the floor. the answer there is "since the roof leaks on the family room floor, we need to repair the roof."
