The option that BEST describes the error in Taylor’s table is:
Mixtures are substances that are not chemically combined.
This statement accurately reflects a key characteristic of mixtures, which is that they consist of two or more substances that are combined physically, rather than chemically. This point clarifies the distinction between pure substances and mixtures. The other options do not correctly identify an error within the table.
