To determine which statements about Sid's work are true, we need to consider the subtraction process as well as the statements provided.

Sid was asked to subtract 214 from 346.

1. Performing the subtraction:
```
346
- 214
------
```

Subtracting from right to left:
- In the ones place: 6 - 4 = 2
- In the tens place: 4 - 1 = 3
- In the hundreds place: 3 - 2 = 1

So, 346 - 214 = 132.

Now we can evaluate the statements:

1. **Sid’s answer of 32 is correct.** - **False** (The correct answer is 132, not 32.)
2. **Sid lined up the place values correctly.** - **True** (Assuming he wrote the numbers correctly on a paper or visually lined them up.)
3. **Sid forgot to subtract the hundreds place, so his answer is incorrect.** - **True** (His subtraction must have improperly accounted for the hundreds place, leading to an incorrect final answer.)
4. **Sid should have added 346 and 214.** - **False** (The question specifically asked for a subtraction, not an addition.)

Thus, the two statements that apply are:

- Sid lined up the place values correctly.
- Sid forgot to subtract the hundreds place, so his answer is incorrect.
