The correct answer is: Drake did not align the digits by their place value when he set up the problem.
This is the most likely error leading to an incorrect sum of 984 when adding 234 and 75, as the sum of these two numbers is actually 309. If he mistakenly misaligned the numbers, it could result in an incorrect total like 984.
