Answer 1

Based on Bella's work of adding 836 and 94, the following statements are true:

1. **Bella set up the problem incorrectly. The 9 in 94 should be under the 3 in 836.**
- This is true because when adding two numbers, we need to align them by their place values (units, tens, hundreds).

2. **The sum of 836 and 94 should be 940.**
- This is also true, as when you correctly add them (836 + 94), the result is indeed 940.

The other statements are false:
- The first statement about aligning the largest digits is incorrect since we should align by place value instead.
- The last statement claiming that 836 + 94 = 1776 is false.
