Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Not all reactions fit into one category, and some reactions can fit into more than one category.

This indicates that while there are defined categories of chemical reactions (such as synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, etc.), some reactions may not neatly fit into just one category, and can sometimes be classified in multiple ways.
